This group is for parents of children dealing with encopresis, stool withholding, holding poop, and functional fecal retention. The problem seems to go by many names, but the results are usually the same - child can't or won't poop. It is highly frustrating for parents to deal with. I hope this group will be a place to find support and share advice with others dealing with this issue.
