Guest guest Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hi - I have a specific dilemma I'm wondering if anyone else has had success with...our 9 year old has encopresis with his constipation. Well, being a typical 9 year old boy, he likes to play baseball and other outside games both organized and just for boy fun. What we find happening is that he's really busy playing and when he has the urge to go to the bathroom, it's already too late for him to stop playing, find a bathroom and use it. During his team games, he doesn't want to just run off the field because (as he says), he knows its already too late and he doesn't want to make the game stop for him. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice, anything that's worked for anyone? My husband and I are really at odds about this. I know our son can't help it, so I have sympathy for him and rarely get angry when he poops his pants but on the other hand...I get so sick of cleaning out underwear 3 and 4 times a day. I worry about his friends making fun of him, too. Thanks for anything you can offer... ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
