My DGD was xrayed for another problem and it was discovered she was 'backed up'. That explained a lot of her problem. She was prescribed Mirolax every half hour until she was cleaned out and on Mirolax every day. It took about a month for her to get over all her bowel problems including having control of it. It took going to four Drs. to finally find her problem. One simple x ray! The other Dr.s just kept changing diet or said it wasn't a problem. If there is a problem then it needs to be found out why there is a problem. Amazing how many children don't mention the backed up problem at all. They don't know they are. I always had my kids show me before flushing when they were young. LOL
