Hi there Stella, you haven't said whether your son as IBS but from what you have described above I think he needs to see a doctor as this looks like it's beyond anything that you could do for him. I am a mum but my children as now much older and I had problems with one of mine and ended up at the doctors.

I hope that you get help.

Hi,I'm mum to five ,gran to eight,l really think you need help us to referral ,it's ok saying this but will he go to anyone? Therefore you need a home assesment go see your to,do you do his washing? I had a son who would set the bed and hide wet sheets under the bed and clothes as he would not wash ,l to got fed up so l showed him simple program to put his washing on,it gave him responsability for his own stuff ,he hates his stuff not being there for him,l flat refused to wash for him,in the end he started too wash his own stuff,then l progressed to meals so many days do your own tea,h was shown to iron his own uniform , but he and you need help
