[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 532617, member: 1233"] have you tried the gluten/casein free diet? i have several friends with kids with similar problems who were helped by this. others have been helped by addind benefiber and/or miralax to their child's diet. many say that miralax makes them have to go whether they want to or not, the kids say that not the parents, lol. it can also help to have the child go to the potty on a strict schedule and have to sit there for a set amt of time unless they go. we did this at one point when one of the kids was having frequent urinary infections from not emptying the bladder fully because of the rush to get back to the toys. sadly i cannot remember which of my kids, lol, as it has been so long. but the doctor said to make them go every 2 hrs and sit there for 10 min or until they produce. if they potty they can get up before 10 min but if they don't potty they must sit there. of course we kept books there and toys, and it was NOT easy to keep a child sitting there, but it DID work. After a couple of days and learning that Mom was NOT going to just forget about this, they started producing so that they could go play. Using the desire to get back to playing as a part of the motivation to finally go was very helpful. It was not easy to sit there with them as they sat on the potty, but it worked and was much better than having them sick with fever, pain and accidents from not going often enough or fully.

I know we did this for a while with Wiz because he had some structural problems at birth and after the surgery we did this to keep everything working until the repairs healed, so I know it also works with boys. I hope you get this worked out and his idjit teacher stops making comments like this. her comments will only upset him and he has little control over these problems, ESPECIALLY if the teachers let him not use the bathroom at regular bathroom breaks. those 'deals' are a fault of the teacher NOT the child, esp if they are contributing to the accidents.
