[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Google “encopresis” and figure out if you think there’s any chance that’s the issue. If you think it’s at ALL a possibility you want to go to a pediatric gastroenterologist for a property diagnosis and treatment. This is NOT quick to resolve and NOT something a pediatrician can handle properly. Ours misdiagnosed which meant it too longer to get to the GI doc and longer to resolve. Please don’t make the same mistake as us - it’s something that can easily take a couple of years to resolve as it is. [/quote]

Yes to all of this. I tell everyone to go forward with a pediatric GI consult with any concerns about ongoing constipation issues as we're dealing with all of this with my youngest.

To OP- someone else also posted about a miralax clean out- our GI has us give 3 capfuls of miralax along with the regular dose of ex-lax squares for 2 days. He takes ex-lax ongoing and then does a the cleanup but just for 1 day a month to keep things moving along. [/quote]
