[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 87299, member: 2287"] Hi My When someone was referring to "others coming along" who have been suffering the same issues, I am one of those others. My difficult child is twelve next week. WE GO THROUGH EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUES. I honestly don't think anything will help till they are ready to do something about it themselves. I took my son to a gastroenterologist rather recently (now that he's in middle school....eeeewwww), they x-rayed his colon, found huge amounts of feces, lectured him on going to the bathroom, said to give him Miralax every day, and sent us on our way. Big fat deal. It has done little. We have to battle him every day to go.....we figured with hounding him every day, maybe he'd end up going once a week. When he does go, the toilet is plugged, big time.
