I wanted to pose question for both CALS and PALS, so I put it here under General.
I understand that usually the bowel movement issue in PALS is constipation so sometimes stool softeners are used.
However, we have the opposite problem. My PALS cannot make it to the bathroom in time and is unable to "hold" the BM.
Have any of you experienced this problem? If so, what do we do?
I don't believe it is diet, as that hasn't really changed and he tries to eat quite a bit of "binding" type foods.
Just curious if other PALS had this issue as the only thing I have heard about is the opposite.
Thanks much!
