Why do we get constipated? What causes diarrhea? How can you prevent encopresis? Nancy Glass-Quattrin, RN, BSN, helps us find out! Learn more on her website at https://www.encopresistreatment.com/

Learn the basics in this episode, then move onto the next ones to learn more!

Please forgive any audio disturbances, this was made by a 12-year-old.

PARENTS: talk to your kids about what you heard in the podcast! Here are some things to discuss:

Holding it - talk to your child about holding behavior and why they hold it at school. Brainstorm with your child and their teacher, ways to avoid holding it

Medication - I talk more about medicine in other episodes, but you know your kid best, and if you think they would benefit from medication, talk to their pediatrician. I am, by no means, a doctor.

To help better understand your child's constipation, or encopresis, ask them what symptoms they experience

Keep Poopcast going with your marvelous ideas! Do you have questions about poop or suggestions for future episodes? Send them to me at [email protected]! I look forward to seeing them!
