Advice on Encopresis

Advice from Dr. Collins:

WARNING: A recent research report out of the Netherlands (see our scientific articles page) indicates that the rectum can become
overly stretched and weakened from a megacolon such that the standard "top down" pediatric treatment may be rendered ineffective.
In my opinion encopresis should not be allowed to continue indefinitely.

Even children recovering under the standard pediatric approach may continue with distended rectums at 4 years
follow up. The more aggressive Soiling Solutions protocol using suppositories and enemas with proper timing is
well indicated at an earlier time to prevent this consequence. Continuing "maintenance therapy" with cavalier
assurances that your child "...will grow out of it." is not a solution and only results in corroding your child's well
being and your family life. Dr. C.
