Hello. My name is aforst and my son is a stool hoarder.

aforst

This is our pedi's over-the-phone diagnosis of his constipation and refusal to potty train issues.  We are supposed to start giving him 1 full cap of Miralax a day for a month to see if it helps.

Man, it just feels good to say it out loud and not carry that shame.  :P

The title of this post reminds me of Waiting for Guffman. Blaine, MO ...Stool Capital of the US.
Op...glad you have a plan. My DD has be known to hoard stool as well.

I thought I wa going to open this post to see a pc of your son surrounded by stools, like the kind you sit on.

 

Hope the miralax works for you!

I'm so glad we aren't the only ones!  I hope all your LO's can find some relief too

Us too! Miralax worked well for us but my little bugger started to notice the taste and refuse anything I put it in....

The title of this reminded me of the eating disorder special on HBO where Calista Flockhart played a bulemic who hid her vomit in jars in her closet. I am sorry your son is constipated but glad that you do not have a closet full of poop.

Nora eats prunes daily. It's made a big difference. Good luck to you lol.

I don't know...at least he'd be shitting in something besides a diaper.  I might consider it a success.

DS is 8 and still on a cap of miralax daily.  It helps for sure.  I hope he gets some relief soon!

DD does this she isn't potty training yet but I hope it doesn't interfere with that. She eats a prune a day plus a high fiber diet. I hope the miralax does the trick!

I didn't know if this was going to be about poop or if there was going to be a picture of your kid with several step stools.
