I can understand you're feelings at the moment. I promise they're not judging you they just want to understand the underlying issues around the soiling. My son is 7 and still soils due to constipation, with them on board you might be able to access different organisations that can help you all and get through this and help you all to deal with the soiling problems. It's not the nicest of things to discuss but remember you're not the first and won't be the last.

Hi there. I've replied to your second post. Sorry didn't realise it was soiling you were dealing with a Amy son has overactive bladder and most recent onset of intermittent soiling

Have you explained to your GP about your situation. You can always request that stool samples are tested for both kids. Spiking apparently is usually down to constipation so get them drinking lots of water based drinks. Sometimes kids get anxious about using school toilets, as they're not always the cleanest of places so you could always discuss with school nurse and/or head teacher about your kids using a different toilet in school

Hope that helps

Amy
