Encopresis? HELP!!

[ktesmom]

I was wondering if there are any other moms out here that has heard of this?  My son has been having bowel issues for some time now.  Most recently he was having some stomach pain and was seen by his pediatrcian who then felt a lump in his lower abdominal area.  At which time, he was rushed for an abdominal xray.  The xray showed that his coloan is stretched to it fullest and ordered me to give him 1 enemas.  I have since done that and my son has had some relief, but is still complaining about his stomach and is still having bowel movement issues.  He was seen again yesterday by his pediatrician and which time the lump was still present , not as severe, but still there.  He also was still very sensitive in that area when touched.  The dr ordered yet another enema and wants to recheck him in another week.  Upon doing some research this morning , and reading about Encropesis it seems like this may be it.  My son has several of these symptoms. 

Like I said I was wondering if anyone else's child has this or has heard about this?

I don't know anything about the condition you described.  I suggest though getting your son Aloe Vera Juice.  George's is what I recommend since when refridgerated it is just like ice water.  Have him do that.  It is a natural and gentle way to aid in digestion and regulate his bowels.  I take it with either diarrea or constipation you just adjust the amount and it works wonderful.  Hope he feels better soon.
