[quote=Anonymous]Hi! We have a three-year old who has sensory processing issues, and we've been working with him on potty training. He seems to strain a lot when having a bowel movement, and doesn't always finish on the toilet. Even with a diaper or pull-up, it seems to take him a while to poop, or he has several small ones during the day. We think there's some withholding/control stuff going on as well, but we'd like to begin by addressing the physical part and making it a little easy/pleasant for him to go. Anyone have ideas on ways that I could incorporate things into his diet that will soften his stool? He's quite regular, it's just difficult for him to finish all at once when he goes. He eats a lot of fruit, not much wheat or dairy, and a pretty decent diet overall, which is a start, but what else might help? Are there foods that I could be giving him that are causing him to be constipated? Help! :) Thanks in advance! [/quote]
