[QUOTE="DDD, post: 235054, member: 35"] I had a similar problem with difficult child. He would not relieve himself which ended up causing truly huge compacted stools that could not even be flushed with-o causing plumbing problems. Never did he take ownership of the problem. Bottom line? I insisted on extra fluids and insisted that he take a daily stool softener. These measures solved the problem and I was happy that enemas etc. never were involved. I don't know this to be true but I think that artificially stimulating the bowel "teaches" the bowel not to function normally. That could fall in the category of "old wives tales" but it makes sense to me. Good luck. difficult child has Aspergers so there is a possible connection to the spectrum. DDD [/QUOTE]
