We also took our daughter to Dr. Krigsman. Wasn't easy, but so well worth the trouble. And he and his staff are both competent and compassionate. And we finally had answers to these significant GI problems and behaviors. -----Original Message-----From: "egerpatt" <egerpatt@...>" " < >Sent: 8/7/2009 12:23 PMSubject: [ ] Re: ASP and BM issuesI highly recommend a full GI workup for your son. I heard some good things about Dr. Taxman in

Cleveland Heights but not all positives. My son does similar things and I have no doubt in my mind that he has difficulty passing stool, and this is absolutely not a behavior, thus nothing to punish. I see my son posture, press his belly into hard surfaces, etc. b/c he needs pressure to be able to go and I see him tantrum and seize at times b/c of the pain of the BMs. My decision was to take him to the best of the best - Dr. Arthur Krigsman at the Thoughtful House. We are still not all set to go, still many tests must be completed prior to the visit but I think we will get to him before the end of the year, and scoped and all. Here's more info:www.thoughtfulhouse.comIf you wonder about funding, I ythink most of it will be covered by our health insurance plan (we do have out of network benefits) , but for whatever wont be covered, I am taking out a loan from this organization:

lend4health.org.I have a very good video about this, I am willing to show it again though I can not loan it at this time. I am working on obtaining extra copies and then I could loan it out. Its about exactly these issues that you are describing.HTH>> My son is seven and has been having bowel issues for awhile now. He is ASP but also PANDAS OCD and tics. I think this has become a compulsion. He used to soil his underpants but now he tries to go and says it is stuck and uses his fingers to get it out. Then he rubs his bottom on the carpet and over the register. We have such a mess to clean up. He has made his bottom bleed. I am not sure how to punish him. I put him in his room for time out. I took away

his things and his computer time. He already has anger issues and a short fuse. He is throwing things at the walls and breaking his things in his room while in time-out. I am at a loss. He is mean verbally and screams at me and won't give up. He insists on a shower after the BM everytime. What can I do with him when nothing seems to help? I have been to Dr's many times and I just can't get this resolved.>
