4 year daughter soiling self and wetting at my wits end.

[lvhandy]

My daughter is almost 5 and recently she soils and wets herself seemingly without knowing. She loves fruit and vegetables but I have cut these down somewhat at the advice of her school when she had a couple of accidents.

Now I don’t know whether she needs more vegetables and fruit or even less because the soiling is getting out of hand and it is at least once a day every day. She does seem to be better when she is at school but we have the holidays currently and we are going through so many sets of clothes and so many are stained beyond what I am able to fix.

There is lots of information that you may find helpful on the Bladder & Bowel UK website at bbuk.org.uk/bowel-resources/ The leaflet that may be most useful at this stage is the one at bbuk.org.uk/wp-content/uplo...

Hi lvhandy It sounds as though your daughter could be suffering with constipation. Have a look at our eric.org.uk/advice-for-chil... factsheet, the symptoms of constipation are listed and explained. You would need to contact your GP to ask for a macrogol laxative. Here's a podcast by our Continence Nurse: eric.org.uk/episode-3-chron...

Don't forget, you can contact our Helpline and ask for an email from an advisor. If you do so, make sure to give as much information as you can. Best wishes, ERIC
