[QUOTE="Lucedaleblessed, post: 282461, member: 6747"] I support that is sound like [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encopresis"]Encopresis[/ame]. We had it in our family too. As for food: Stay away from Bananas, cook carrots and nuts (For some odd reason raw carrots are not a problem). Make him drink a lot. Time toilet times to at least 10 minutes. Our family was ordered to force him to the toilet 5 times per day and at the school had to help too as one his visits was in the school time. It is a sensitive matter, so keep it hidden for his friends at school unless the school has a very good anti-bullying policy. As for medicine: [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movicol"]Movicol[/ame] tastes like h... I had to taste it when we look after our nephew. Drinking it and at the same time smiling to the child telling him that is taste normal is hard. Some kids can be fooled by hiding it in cacao milk but don't count on it. Bad news is that it works by keeping the fluid from being consumed by his body. It can end up like looking as diarrhea. An alternative is [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactulose"]Lactulose[/ame]. That's also awful. It works in a different way which for some is better. The bad news is that if you enter a structured treatment with fixed toilet times and medicine you have to do it for six to twelwe months with a resisting child. Talk to your doctor before starting this. Get some help making tables, so you can count and have clocks with alarms so you dont forget when it is time for the toilet. [/QUOTE]
