[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 607261, member: 77"] Dear eoe1973, I see you have written on an old thread. It is such a painful subject, this encopresis. I see that you mention "the doctors in Iceland." Is that your family doctor, or a specialist? Because it is important that a child with encopresis is seen by a pediatric gastroenterologist -- i.e. a gastro doctor for children. That is in order to rule out any specific gastro problem. Once that is ruled out, then you are in the same awful situation that we all were (or still are) in. Many many years ago, before using "the net" became such an integral part of our lives, I found a support group for parents of children with encopresis that worked through the e-mail, and it saved my life. It doesn't exist any more, but one of the things that everyone on it said was that children seem generally to grow out of it at puberty. I was feeling quite desperate, but because of the support I received on this e-mail group I became calmer and I found my own way of coping with it. My son's behaviour continued to be awful, but the encopresis suddenly disappeared when he was 13 and a half. Just like that. No rhyme or reason. And since then it hasn't reappeared. You can go into the archives on this site and see some quite detailed discussions about encopresis. Is your name really Esther? If so, I am thrilled. Up until now, I have been the only Esther on this group (as far as I know, anyway). So welcome to another Esther. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
