"Hi, my 9 year old son was diagnosis with the condition a few weeks ago. He has always leaned toward constipation and then began having huge BMs. He then began soiling himself a couple of months ago, just as school started.

We saw a pedi. GI doctor and I was told that he needed to be cleaned out and was given instructions to give him 1 mineral oil enema followed by 1 saline enema, two nights in a row. We did this, boy it was tramatic for all of us. But he did have success. I was shocked at the amount that came out of that little guy. I was told to give him 2 1/2 to 3 caps of Miralax a day and give him timed sits everyday. It's been 3 days since the initial clean out. The first day he went a little in the toilet during one sit. The second day he went a little twice. But today he came home from school with soiled pants after which he had an EXPLOSION in his pants while playing video games. He was shocked as was I. I must admit this has been very upseting to him. He HATES the sight of his own BMs. He always has. So the cleaning up process has cause a ton of drama to say the least. He is terrified of someone finding out at school or another explosion happening at school. I worry all day long about him till he gets home. We are both very overwhelmed with it all.

I plan on adjusting his Miralax dosage. I have increased his fiber intake along with the Probiotics since his BMs are quite smelly. My question is the Miralax. I've been reading up on it and find that it works well with some and not others. I have also read some scarey stuff about it. I'd like to try Liquid Colace since it seems to work with some and might be a little gentler on the system. Has anyone ever tried it? And if so do you have any advice as to how much I should use?

Everything I've read about Soiling Solutions sounds good. The Bottom to top method makes a lot of sense to me. Unfortunately, things are tight here and I will have to save up for it. I plan on using suppositories on days with no success just to make sure things keep moving.

I'm so relieved to see there are those who understand our journey. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!"


What are you feeding the little bastard?  Ever thought of salad at the end of the meal or at least something green?

I always find two McDonalds hamburgers does the job for me, usually within the hour.

Problem solved, Sophie.
