O my gosh!!! I can't believe what I just saw........I have a 9 year old son that has this same problem! We have taken him to the Dr's so many times and all they say is that he is lazy and we need to force him to go to the toilet. Meanwhile when my son is on the toilet NOTHING comes out! I have done everything from suppositories to fiber, stool softeners and even an enema! It is so good to hear that I am not the only one that suffers from this and it is actually a medical problem. I find my husband and I are at odds with this, but it sure is nice to know I AM RIGHT there is something wrong.

I look forward to getting some advice and if anyone else has ANY suggestions please feel free.

2x a day, I have to have my son go do his "excercises" (this is what we call them). He has to go to the bathroom and sit on the toilet (for at least 10 min) and PUSH! Where everyone is taught NOT to strain when having a bowel movement Kids with encompresis have to strain so that they can clean themselves out and utimately reduce the size of their anal opening. Eventually their sphincters and nerves will reduce in size. It's amazing too! The size of the stool of one who suffers from encompresis is unbelievable. After only a week of excercises the size of my childs stool reduced also.

Hi Monique. I just sent in my posting with my story on it. Both of my boys and myself had it. I don't know if it's posted yet but check it out.  Other people have great advice also. Check it out. I am here to support you. If it's possible to contact me. you may. There isn't a great deal of information out there but research and talking with other people will help. Good luck to you and your family!!

P.S. I don't think that I said this in my posting but getting on a medication and coming up with a schedule for your child is a FAMILY AFFAIR. All have to be on board with support for any of this to work. Good luck Monique.
