Hi ,

Well I'm glad to know Micah's not the only one. It was difficult to mention.

He doesn't have BM on his fingers, just BM odor. He has always been fixated

with BM too.

In 5th grade, they wrote books, and all of them had a poop theme. the

teacher finally told him no more body functions!

how old is your son? this started when Micah was 9, but then went away, and

now is recently back. I was so glad to see it go. I don't want to deal with

this again.

the odd thing is that he cant smell it...it just doesn't seem to register in

his brain, so he smells his fingers over and over after rubbing his butt.

sorry, hope that wasn't too gross.

thanks so much for sharing , I feel better.

I'm a little relieved to have read your email and son's symptoms of the

wiping. while my son doesn't do it to that extreme, he seems to be fixated on

poop. He always talks about it in a variety of topics from making chocolate

pudding, to calling his brothers dodo but, dodo head, or just saying dodo. He

also would wipe himself w/ toilet paper and then put it in the rubbish can

rather than flushing. For a while, he wouldn't pee in the toilet and would pee

in

a bottle and save it. He was hiding this from us until I came across it under

the bathroom sink. I read up that being obsessed with one's bodily fluids is

one of the top 10 obsessions so I wasn't too concerned. We finally was able

to get him to throw it all away and rewarded him when he did. Then he would

just go outside in the yard to pee. This weekend, he had another

accomplishment and is now peeing in the toilet! Of course we rewarded him for

that as

well.

Best of luck and hang in there!
