[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 282454, member: 77"] nlwright, your child's problem is called ENCOPRESIS. There are all sorts of reasons for whatever it is that causes the constipation, but it is the result of constipation. I sympathise with you, because I know how ghastly it is to cope with it and all the surrounding complications in the house and in the neighborhood and in school etc. My difficult child had it from age four and a half until thirteen. Please please please make an appointment with a pediatric gastroenterologist. He will know what to do. There are ways of coping with it that are not so horrible. There are two sorts of medicines that are gentle and help to get a handle on the problem: One is something that will make the stools softer and easier to pass, the other one is to help the bowels move. You will also probably be given advice on behavioral aids to get things going the right way. Just don't carry on trying to solve it yourself, because it is obvious that you need some outside help. I feel for you. Please get some help for your child and for yourself, and please keep us informed how you are getting along. You are no longer alone. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
