Stool retention: This is a common problem that is often mishandled by parents & many docs. As soon as a kid realizes they can hold their stools they may choose to after a painful one. The cycle repeats until the colon balloons & emptying becomes inefficient. These kids often require work with a developmental pediatrician or pedi GI along with Miralax or lactulose for a year or more to rehab the bowel.
