[QUOTE="myfirstandlast, post: 87298, member: 3420"] Some more info: I know he is having BM's (when he does, holy cow they stink) but he is often constipated. His soiling is usually nearly liquid leakage from just a little to quite a bit, definitely soft when it comes out. He is not having complete BM's in his pants. I do believe that he does not feel it happen. I do not understand how he cannot smell it. His cover story, if you mention you can smell him, is that he has bad gas. I'm guessing that is what he says at school. He is often accused of not flushing the toilet, and sometimes he doesn't (usually when he only urinates) but at times his BM is so, uh, voluminous, that it won't go down after several flushes. I'm sure it's painful, which is that cycle again, of holding it because it hurts to go, but then holding it causes it to hurt more when he finally does. *sigh* His claims that he doesn't do it at his grandma's house, and her claims of the same, really made me feel like it had to be intentional, to hurt me, as he has been known to do and say a lot of hurtful things over the years since his dad and I divorced. But he has been, on the whole, much more kind and nice since the death of his father, while his soiling problem has gotten noticably worse. I really don't think he does it intentionally, and maybe his grandma didn't want to admit to me that he does it there as well, or maybe he's better at hiding the evidence; I don't know. The biggest struggle now, is getting him to shower at least every other day (at almost 13 I can't FORCE him) and getting him the fiber and such that he needs as he is EXTREMELY picky about food. He hardly touches vegetables or fruit. Eats mostly meat and bread, nuts, canned soup, crackers, cereal. Fought with him over food when he was younger and he would simply gag and spit out things he didn't want to try; just wasn't worth it. We have some Miralax from the last time we went to the pediatrician about it. I just have to figure out a way to make him a shake at 6 am without waking up the whole house, that he will actually drink and finish, that has what he needs in it.
