My daughter is 5 years old and has sticky stools everyday despite all efforts to alter her diet as well as benefiber and miralax. We are frustrated with poopy underwear everyday. but mostly I m very concerned that something more serious may be going on. What are possible reasons and/or solutions for this cronic problem?
Hi...what you are quoting is exactly called encopresis. This occurs when the kid has hard stools, almost similar to constipation. But what happens here is the liquid stools will seep out on the sides of the hard stools and leak out. But, the main treatment of this is relieving of constipation. Suggestions
