[quote=Anonymous]Op here-thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. I really appreciate the suggestions too! We have that probiotic the PP listed and I totally forgot about that so we will try that. I’d love for him to go in the pull up again but he’s totally refusing which in a way isn’t the worst thing in the long run for potty training-just makes things much more difficult now. We are doing everything possible to avoid enemas because I think it would traumatize him, but I appreciate hearing the PP’s experience with that and that there was light at the end of that tunnel. Yes definitely we are putting all the potty talk and potty training on hold right now-it’s just too much for him.

I actually tried the suppository and he exerted his will and held in the poop! I was astonished given how much Miralax he’d had too.  I was able to meet with our ABA today and we are going to try to get him to poop outside 2-3 times on a dog training pad (like the ones you get post partum for your bed) and have him help me clean up the pad and poop etc to give him some control and ownership. And then slowly move the pad back towards the bathroom (on the floor), to on the toilet bowl if necessary. Oh my gosh you guys, I can’t make this stuff up! I am grateful I have a place to talk about trying to get my rising kindergartener to poop on a puppy poop pad in my yard...! Calgon take me away:)[/quote]
