[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you are seeing are fecalomas - dried, old feces. I imagine your child says their tummy hurts and they have alternating diarrhea and constipation. We found out belatedly that this is common with high functioning aspergers, as well as late toilet training, both of which we experienced. I would suggest you see a good pediatric gastroenterologist. We saw Dr. Sirlin in Ashburn, VA and the first thing he did was order the x-ray. We could see all the fecalomas lined up in DS's large intestine. He ordered a full "clean out" and then a recheck. DS is now on miralax daily. He said some of the fecalomas could have been in DS for years. Our pediatrician never caught it. DS's large colon is permanently distended. You need to get this taken care of pronto.[/quote] NP. How awful for your child! Thanks for warning of a potential problem I'd never have thought of.[/quote]
