[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 9016, member: 77"] Amy, I could write a whole book about the bowel problems, but I'm not going to start. If you have any specific questions, please ask and I'll be happy to share my (horrible) experiences of it with you. I just wanted to say, it's called encopresis, it's not an illness but a CONDITION. In my opinion, a visit with a pediatric gastroenterologist should be scheduled, and he will be familiar with this condition and try to help you. There are a lot of chldren with this problem -- far more than people "owe up" to. With almost all children it seems to just disappear at puberty. But, like Fran wrote about her difficult child, signs of it linger on, such as enormous bowel movements in the toilet. Just for your information, my son was completely potty trained at the age of three. At four and a half he started crapping in his pants, and didn't stop until 13 and a half. That's it in a nutshell -- nine years of pure hell. Feel free to share, ask, and vent. If I can be of any help, I'll happily put in my two cents' worth. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
