[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would consider using Miralax at least short term, because like others here I have a kid with encopresis and impaction and longer term bowel issues that started with simple constipation (which can present as normal poop or even runny poop, but there's still a ball of impacted poop stuck up there). To make that less likely, especially this early into the problem, Miralax may be the way to go. Also make sure he's getting enough water. Can you have him sit on the toilet before school? If he refuses you could try a short term sticker chart. [/quote] +1. Fiber in diet also helps. Of course we try the best choices of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, but frankly my kid is really picky and won't eat enough of them, so we only saw a difference in regularity and fewer accidents when we introduced fiber bars at breakfast.
