[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]google encopresis. We struggled with this for a whole year with our then toddler.

The solution was enemas (using lots of water with a hot water bottle set up, not just a store kit) along with laxatives to clear out the blocked colon. It required a lot of patience and took a long time but it did resolve.[/quote]

OP here—I searched this and the symptoms don’t sound like my daughter. The below are the symptoms I found. Possibly the second one is her, but I am not sure if her stooling is “involuntary” or not. When I ask her about accidents the conversation is something like this: “Ms. Amy said you had an accident in the morning, do you remember what it felt like before it happened?” “yes, I was playing with Maya outside.” “Did you ask to go to the potty?” “No playing isn’t potty time.”

Symptoms I found (in case helpful to someone else).
-Loose, watery stools
-Involuntary stooling, or needing to have a bowel movement with little or no warning, which may soil underwear when a child cannot get to the bathroom in time
-Scratching or rubbing of the anal area due to irritation by watery stools
-Withdrawal from friends, school, and/or family
-Hiding their soiled underwear[/quote]
