My little boy had this. His refusal to eat anything with fiber was key to this problem.
And it’s not “loses control” as in everything comes out without warning, it’s a steady drip drip while he walks around carrying a rock hard tennis ball sized turd jammed up there.

My daughter was like this until about a year ago. Just a little would come out at a time. We had to coach her to poop and then she’d unleash these turds the size of her lower leg once every 4-5 days. Like a toddler version of opioid abusers. All good now though, thankfully.

For those with toddlers - the probiotic gummies will really help soften a toddlers poop if they constantly are trying to push out tennis balls.

The funnest part is going to a doctor to get a suppository to loosen it up.

Doctor does not work that way. Go buy miralax and go use that, she said. In the end it took three or four different classes of laxatives, including the suppository, which I’ve never used on myself before, let alone a child.
The suppository went in, and no more than 3 seconds later the toilet was too full to flush.

I mean it worked that way for me. I think the only reason the doctor was involved is because my mother thought it was appendicitis, but the doctor gave us pills that had to be used for 3 days afterwards. In my case the doctor forced me to wait 30 minutes after delivering the pills.

Or having a hospital stay to clear out the massive impaction. They use a tube through the nose to the stomach to get the laxatives in that way, then a tube up the butt for enemas of various liquids that I can't remember anymore.

Oh no, there's no mint, only mastisol (liquid adhesive).

That's a pretty classic malignant bowel obstruction, and that can kill you.

It wasn’t a bowel obstruction. It was more extremely annoying than anything.

Why was fiber his aversion?

Not around a whole lot of kids, are you? Some of us are saddled with picky eaters, and it’s not like juvenile picky eaters refuse to eat anything but kale and uncooked turnip greens. Whole wheat pasta in his Mac and cheese is a bridge too far with this kid, and I know he’s nowhere near as bad as some.

Comes with being a primary caregiver. Joke’s on him though. In 30 years we’ll switch up who has to use the suppository.

My daughter does this and it’s an absolute shit show. Just laxatives every day now.
