Hi, Welcome to ChatDoctorFirst of all let me assure you that there is nothing to be alarmed about. Your child seems to be having loaded colon which needs to be emptied completely by giving laxatives. Once his gut is completely free of stools, then on he will have normal bowel habits and his diet also will improve. I would suggest you to consult a pediatric Gastroenterologist or even a pediatrician for the same. Hope I answered your query adequately. Take care.
