[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 291144, member: 3419"] Very interesting that he was able to control it that quickly. I suspect he has allergies, and also sensory issues, and the encopresis and wiping aversion are symptoms of that. It's clear, though, that there is a psychological component and he is very stubborn, LOL! He thought he was taking the easy way out, until you came up with-something that was much more difficult for him to face. Now, if you can only come up with-ideas like that on all the other issues ... My son went through this for many yrs, and I ended up checking him repeatedly. Not fun for either of us. We finally bought a box of Baby Wipes and that seemed to do the trick. He kept thinking that the only way to get clean was to take a whole shower, and he knew that the TP alone wasn't good enough. Voila! Baby Wipes! We also had him do his own laundry. The rest of it was solved by getting rid of wheat and dairy, which firmed up his bowels and cleaned up his act, so to speak. So I'd keep an eye on your son's diet, in the meantime. What a relief that he has stopped for the time being. You have him doing his own laundry, right? If he's not tall enough, you can use a stepstool--maybe the same one he uses to brush his teeth.
