Thanks for the infromation!
Quote From: lborelandI have an eight year old that has the same problem and I took him to the doctor to find out what was going on and even to a counsellor to see if was psychoological. I found that it is very commom in boys because they get caught up in what they are doing and hold it for so long until it forms like a rock in their colons and when new and softer poop is formed it just seeps out around the hard stuff that is already there and they dont feel it. It is kinda like plugging your sink but not going it properly and then trying to fill it and you tuen the faucet off and come back to realize there is no water left it has seeped out. You dont know it happened until you go and check. My son has told me several times that he didn't know it happened and after a while he just did not smell it when he had accidents anymore. I give him fiber now and coffee enemas and prunes and raisins and aloe vera juice to keep him going so it wont happen. It is ver nerve racking but you have to do it unless you want to keep buying new underwears and having them being embarrassed and not be able to take them anywhere. I have a four year old grandson who has this problem. I know that he is still young to be worrying about this problem. At first I thought that the doctors were wrong but he is with me when his parents are working. He has no problem standing and peeing but he refuses to sit on the toilet. He tells me it hurts! I really hope that we don't have years and years of this problem. I just can't imagine him still soiling his pants when he starts school. I know that teachers don't have the patience and understanding for this problem. I hate to admit it but I was one of those people that thought these children were just lazy to go to the bathroom. Now I know differently!
