[QUOTE="Janna, post: 243477, member: 2737"] Oh, absolutely NOT! You should get a 2nd opinion. We saw the HEAD of PEDIATRICS at a huge hospital here - and he wasn't a gastro - but he knew his stuff. Encopresis is a disorder - just like any other, that needs to be fixed. If difficult child has been holding and is to the point of leaking, no Milk of Magnesia or Miralax is going to fix it. We went with the inpatient at the hospital, because the thought of doing it here was horrible, but they actually pumped stuff (Go Lightly) into D's belly to force him to dump - and dump he did - alot, everywhere, until his bowels were totally drained. The thing about encopresis is, the signal in the brain that tells you it's time to go, over time - it dies. And, if difficult child is so impacted that he's leaking, that means his intestine is stretched out to try to hold more than what it should. He's got a problem. He really needs to be put in the hospital and drained out if he's leaking. Wow...poor kid. I'm really sorry. [/QUOTE]
