Thanks to everyone that responded. Here is what his pediatrician said...in case

it helps someone else...He said that kids bladders are placed a little

different than adults, everything is a little more compacted down there and the

intestine can actually rub up against and irritate the bladder, especially with

that much stool moving through. It can cause pain in that whole region

including penis pain. He thinks since it has gone on for so long the intestine

is probably stretched out, causing decreased motility. Soooo...he wants him to

increase the fiber (with benefiber or such)up to 3-4 times a day, and adding

more fiber rich foods to help with the bulk (of course with tons of water).

Second, he wants to add mineral oil-up to 2 tablespoons a day-to help lubricate

it. Third, he wants to add Sennakote, 3-4 a day to act as a stool softener as

well as to help shrink the intestine. He was respectful of my concerns about

Miralax, he just said some kids can have issues with it and we'll just stay away

from that class of laxatives. If I say he reacted poorly, then he believes me.

So, we've started adding these things slowly and we'll see...

> Hi all! I have finally made an appointment for tomorrow with the pediatrician

to discuss my 9 yr olds constipation. We've been working with a DAN for years

doing AC chelation, GFCFSF and a few other F's, many supplements. This one

problem just seems to be getting worse. He will rub a spot just over his penis

until it is red. He has rubbed holes in his jeans and dyed his fingers blue.

He will tell me it is so itchy it's driving him crazy. He also punches himself

lightly in the lower abdomen. We've tried massive amounts of magnesium citrate,

aloe vera juice, lots of water, vitamin c, enzymes, etc., epsom salts,

everything I've read about here and on other sites. Nothing seems to work.

When he goes (about every 2-3 days) it's enormous yellow snakes or orange-sized

balls. The rubbing stops and then returns again. I have a feeling that the

reg. pediatrician might recommend Miralax again. I thought it made him spacey

and silly when we tried that years ago. I also seem to remember a study about

it not showing up in the stool of kids with autism? Can anyone site that?

Comprehensive stool analysis showed no parasites, yeast. Last year he had anal

strep, which was wiped out w/antibiotics. Yeast symptoms seem under control.

There is no rash or redness. HELP! It's driving us all crazy! If I hear " All

little boys find it, just send him to his room " again I'm going to scream! Any

ideas?
