[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 215474, member: 77"] Jan -- this is Esther here. I have been there done that with encopresis. My difficult child (now 22 years old) was encopretic from the age of four and a half until 13 and a half. I won't start throwing information your way unless you really need it (and then believe me I will tell you EVERYTHING I know!!!). But in the meantime, in very very rare cases there is a problem with the intestines. And even if it is just encopresis, there is one type of doctor who is the one to check it all out for you, and that is a gastroenterologist. You need a children's one, a pediatric gastro doctor. That is a MUST, just to rule out any other stuff. If it is encopresis, just remember: encopresis is not a disease or an illness, it is a CONDITION. It is basically caused by constipation. Now, what causes the constipation is a different matter altogether. . . . But first things first: Get ye to a pediatric gastroenterologist, that HAS to be your first stop. And buy a good stock of pants and underpants. You are not alone. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
