I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH, WE TOO HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH OUR DAUGHTER AND TRIED EVERYTHING SHORT OF BEATING HER TO DEATH AND STILL NO SUCCESS. I FINALLY TOOK HER TO A SPECIALIST AND FOUND OUT SHE HAD CHRONIC CONSTIPATION. WHICH MEANT SHE DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS HAPPENING. IT IS MOST PREVELANT IN BOYS THOUGH. THE SOLUTION WE HAVE FOUND AND THAT THE DR SUGGESTED WAS A STOOL SOFTNER EVERY DAY. THE DR SAID THAT SHE SHOULD EVENTUALLY GROW OUT OF IT. THERE ARE SOME OVER-THE-COUNTER STOOL SOFTNERS, NOT LAXATIVES THAT HAVE HELP HER AND WE NOW DON'T GO THROUGH THE STRESS OF GETTING HER TO G0 TO THE BATHROOM. HOPE THIS HELPS, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO ME MORE ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED, PLEASE EMAIL ME AT KARENMCCORMICK@MSN.COM. GOOD LUCK!!!!!
