7 year old with encopresis

by TLPRE, Sep 30, 2009 10:07PM
My seven year old was diagnosed with encopresis a year ago- we have done everything we were advised to do- her diet is high in fibre, we work hard to get her 6 glass of fluid in per day, we work hard at the bathroom routine along with using a prescribed laxative.  its a year later and it is not any better- in fact she often has pee accidents now which seems to come and go in waves but is getting to be an even more regular occurrance than the bowel movements.  I am at a loss for how to help her and am starting to worry about the social implications as I often pick her up from school and know she has had an accident.  Why is it not getting better?  why is she also having pee accidents?  any ideas???????


This discussion is related to 3 yr old holding bowel movement.
