[QUOTE="Josie, post: 266029, member: 1792"] To me the potty problems could be a sign of a food allergy problem. What happens when he does sit on the potty and try to go? Personally, I think that a lot of problems with pooping accidents are related to celiac disease/gluten intolerance and not just willful behaviour. Both of my children have food intolerances to gluten and milk. One of them has stomach problems when she has them. My older one has behaviour and mood problems. Before we discovered this, my older daughter was diagnosis'ed with ODD. She was irritable, defiant, and explosive. No discipline worked with her because she just didn't care about consequences. Lexapro helped for a while but needed to be increased to the maximum allowed. She was violent and at the end, we were looking at adding an anti-psychotic to help control the violence. It was then that we discovered her sister's gluten intolerance and put the whole family on the gluten free diet. That was 3 years ago. Now that she is on the gluten free and dairy free diet, she is a different kid. She doesn't need any medications. She is 13 and sometimes cheats on her diet and we are reminded of what our life used to be like. Most of the time, though, she is pretty easy to be around, especially for a teenager. Just my very different view on things. [/QUOTE]
