[quote=Anonymous]OP, even if it started with him not wanting to use the bathroom at school, it quickly could have turned into impaction and he has now lost control over it.

You all are not doing him any favors by attributing it to laziness and trying to shame him. I personally had terrible anxiety as a kid and when I got a teacher I was afraid of, I stopped asking to go to the bathroom. I quickly became impacted and started soiling myself. My mom was furious and I was too afraid to tell her the truth (that I was scared to ask and sometimes I just lost control and pooped) because I knew she would just be mad at me instead of being helpful. I don't remember what I said but I think I just lied and kept saying I didn't know why it happened. It was awful and took almost a year to resolve. And trust me, there were plenty of peer consequences in addition to my parents constantly shaming me.

I don't know if your school will do this without a doctor note, but personally I would put him on Miralax for a cleanout and have a plan at school where he is (quietly) sent to the restroom every hour, whether or not he says he needs to go. Also he should be able to ask anytime.

Does your doctor office have a nurse line? That seems crazy to me that you can't get in until November. My his stomach hurts...or he has some other symptom...that would get you an appointment more quickly...[/quote]
