My 8yr old son pooping problem

My 8yr old son pooping problem

Hello
My 8yr old son has a poop problem? At first I thought he was constipated. About a yr ago I notice his underware were dirty with poop and some were missing( he was hiding or throwing them away). His poop was thick, dry and hard to clean off. So I started using wipes. My problem is that he cant wipe completely he is a lil chubby he's always been a big boned kid. He looks like 11 yr old. The more I wipe him the more poop comes out (very smelly too) more than normal. Took him to the Dr's. He said he was just being lazy.. the pooping problem still cont... he comes home from school dirty & smelly. I watch what he eats he drinks plenty of water, he's very active. But his poop prroblem is driving everybody at home crazy. I have to wash about 4 underware a day. Please advice?
Thanks- Mglez
