[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 93709, member: 2287"] TMB2S, we are living the same life and so are our sons. My son is twelve and has had the same issues for ummmmmm, yep, twelve years. It's sooooo tiring. A few months ago I finally took him to a pediatric gastroenterologist with Texas Children's Hospital. She agreed he was impacted, then did an xray so that HE could see it. She scolded him about sitting on the toilet every single day, suggested high doses of Miralax and Dulcolax. Ok, so we did as she said and it was great for ummmmmm, about two weeks or so. Now we're right back where we were in the first place. It's the most disgusting thing.....we have a new house and it SMELLS!! He plugs the toilet every time he DOES go, too. I certainly don't have the answers for you as we're in the same boat. Personally I think it's a maturity thing more than anything. My son doesn't really seem to care although he has a rash that never goes away. I buy him flushable wipes called KanDoo (in the baby aisle of Target or Walmart) and keep them in the bathroom for him. It helps cleanse better than tp and it's a little soothing. I wash all of his laundry by itself so as not to transfer the odor (it's still there whether his underwear is washed or not). I keep his bedroom door shut ALL the time because his room reeks. Not sure if it has permeated the walls or if there's still underwear in there that I can't find. I pray every day that this will end.......soon! I don't know if it has anything to do with ADHD, or being Bipolar, or being immature, or whatever. I only know that I'm very, very tired of it.
