Yes: Unfortunately, bowel issues are relatively common in childhood to kids at any level of function. Slow transit constipation, stool retention, stooling avoidance, secondary leaking issues are all seen either transiently or long term in kids.Some adults are affected but never bring it up out of embarrassment or an acceptance that it is their normal.
