[quote=Anonymous]My DD has this until 2nd grade and we were at our wit’s end. Took her to a pediatric gastroenterologist who prescribed a clean-out with Miralax and routine potty times after meals. Soon after she was (coincidentally) diagnosed with ADHD and went on meds. The first day on meds she said, “I have to go to the bathroom.” Although the problem lingered for months afterwards, the ADHD meds pretty much cured the problem. The poop gets very backed up and causes mega-colon, so it takes a while to clean everything out so the colon shrinks back to normal. I told the gastro doc this, and he seemed unconvinced. But I am absolutely positive that encopresis is caused by ADHD. Definitely test for ADHD![/quote]
