Whether its kids or pets, waste output is a common topic of conversation. It's not just poop though. Liquid waste is also a fun discussion. Ava indirectly peed on me twice yesterday. Do you know if one needs to reapply sunscreen after getting doused by urine? 2007-07-11T17:01:20.547+02:00 2007-07-11T17:01:20.547+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=shoden&conv=875845&comment_id=17011224 erin lol, you really do end up talking about poop all the time when you have kids don't you? 2007-07-11T16:52:22.779+02:00 2007-07-11T16:52:22.779+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=shoden&conv=875845&comment_id=17011179 Sheldon Hey Greg, thanks for stopping by. For us it wasn't the problem of persisting poopy pants. Ava was holding it in for days! She's gotten better in that she is going almost daily now. We just need to get her eating something other than dairy products. The laxatives are helping but in a couple of weeks here we'll see if her doctor wants to go the enema route. All in all its a pretty crappy situation. 2007-07-11T16:50:37.418+02:00 2007-07-11T16:50:37.418+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=shoden&conv=875845&comment_id=16980560 Greg Paulhus Our son had the same problem. It's called 'encopresis'. Basically what you said, chronic constipation. The kid starts holding in poop for some reason, gets backed up, the bowels stretch out, and they also get numb down there so they can't feel when it's time to poop (so they poop in their pants all day long without even knowing it). It can be hard to figure out, many doctors will tell you the kid just isn't potty-trained yet. We finally got a specialist involved who had us give him a couple enemas to clean him right out. I couldn't believe what came out of the kid with those two enemas, he must have eaten an elephant at some point. After the 'big cleanout' you start with a mild laxative daily, and get the kid to sit on the toilet for five minutes, roughly 20 minutes after each meal. It takes 6 months to a year to get it all fixed and back to normal. Always talk to a pediatrician before you give a kid an enema though. 2007-07-11T01:53:27.285+02:00 2007-07-11T01:53:27.285+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=shoden&conv=875845&comment_id=121241996 Sheldon Hey… I’m just quoting what the Doctor said. 2007-07-11T01:53:07.285+02:00 2007-07-11T01:53:07.285+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=shoden&conv=875845&comment_id=25639927 erin I’m new at Truthmedia and I have had my nose in the protocol books for the last couple weeks.
