Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Greetings: I have a question that I am going to post and anyone who has helpful information about this question please let me know. I have an eight year old grandson who has a problem with going to the restroom to urinate or move his bowels. He has to wear a pullup all the time even when he goes to bed or goes to school. I don't know how to handle this situation. Almost everything has been done to try and find the root or cause of his situation. I keep thinking that he will eventually grow out of it but he is already in 3rd grade and he does not seem to be making any progress. Thanks for any info or help that you can offer or suggest a remedy for his concern. Thanks again. AL. [:-/] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I saw a program on tv about two boys who had trouble holding their bowels, and this continued throughout their lifetime. Apparently, they were born with a limited sense of having to go. Do he have accidents or he just has to go all the time? Is he worried that he might get in trouble for soiling? Could it be psychological? There are many questions here. Perhaps if you ignored the behavior and never spoke of it, it would eventually pass?

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Is he a nervous type? If so, patience and understanding would go a long way. , " alsports2000 " <alsports2000 wrote: > > Greetings: I have a question that I am going to post and anyone who has > helpful information about this question please let me know.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 what about checking his thyroid? The thyroid out of sync can cause more frequent bowel movements, urniation, etc. .... did he have his thyroid check? very important especially at his age to maintain proper growth, Danielle alsports2000 <alsports2000 wrote: Greetings: I have a question that I am going to post and anyone who has helpful information about this question please let me know.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 When my oldest son was 3, he would not toilet train. He just would not.. we had him in a therapy group and the psychologist that worked with the kids told us that he wouldn't, because it was the only thing in his life he could control. My marriage was a bad one and there was so much stress and abuse going on at the time, when I divorced his father 2 years later, he trained immediately. Your grandson could be dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety. Jenny Kernan --- Danielle DeNardo <daniellecdenardo wrote: > what about checking his thyroid?

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 The question was: I have an eight year old grandson who has a problem with going to the restroom to urinate or move his bowels. He has to wear a pullup all the time even when he goes to bed or goes to school> Does he have a physical problem going, period, or does he have a problem using a toilet, for whatever reason? That wasn't clear. If it is the latter, does he have other developmental problems? Ien in the Kootenays http://freegreenliving.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Thanks for responding and no he has no other physical problems and its like I said, we have tried virtually everything to make him go to the restroom when he needs to go. He has had therapy and psychological sessions but we have not been able to find the proper patricians who can address this issue. Sorry that I was not clear on my question/concern. Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 When my youngest son was 5yo, we discovered that he had an intestinal blockage. He was unable to pass this and small amounts of fecal material would escape throughout the day for years. He seemed to rarely have a normal bowel movement and we thought it was control issue for him...this was not the case though...it actually *was* a physical malady . Once he was treated, the blockage passed and he had no more " accidents " . In retrospect, alleviating the problem was really quite simple...once the diagnosis was made. He was treated at the GI clinic of the local Children's Hospital with a nightly regimen of mineral oil/juice cocktails and some use of laxatives/enemas. Can't remember exactly but we had a schedule for several weeks of treatment and at the end, the probem was gone never again to return.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 When he is at home, he should be bare from the waist down. When he has to urinate or move his bowels, he will not want it to dribble down his legs or make a mess on the floor, so theoretically he should go to the potty. If he does it on the floor, he should be made to clean it up. This is a good way to potty train a 2 or 3 yr. old, may work for an 8 yr. old. You may need to have a professional carpet cleaner come in when he's potty trained, but that would be worth it, if it works. With a 2 or 3 yr. old it usually takes a couple weeks, but with him probably longer since he has to be covered up at school. Before you start this, explain what is going to happen and tell him " the doctor said that this is what we need to do " - put the blame on somebody else who is making him do this, not the mother.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Thanks so much for responding and I don't think that he has a problem with going too much but he does continue to get wet and and once he starts to smell my daughter knows he needs to be changed. Its been a challenge in progress but its extremely slow. Thank you for suggestion, I will certainly consider it next time he visits a physician.
