3 year old bowel incontinance

Hi-

My son is 3 and potty trained (wee), he’s been on laxatives since he was 1 due to impaction/bleeding/pain/vomiting, he came off them for a while and seemed ok but while potty training we realised he just soils constantly, he doesn’t know until he’s doing it and he never has full poos, Pre school has sent back a shopping bag of 7 pants/trousers the other day alone, Im not exactly sure what I should be doing because nothing we do seems to help him with full poos. He can sit on the loo for 20 mins and do a little dropping hard or soft, then he gets off and a few mins later he’s done some more. I’m at a loss if we’re on the right treatment or not.

Watch the poo nurses video on the Eric website about disimpaction. Sounds like he needs one.

You need to disimpact him.
