I've noticed my last few loads of washing from DS (10) washing basket had a strong smell of poo so did a bit of exploration and found a couple of pairs of soiled underpants. I've just gently asked him about it and he got very upset, said it's been happening for a while - he goes to the loo as normal but will later realise that he has had an accident, and has been changing his pants and trying to clean himself up. He said he doesn't have the feeling that he needs to go, and only realises he has when he feels it in his underwear. I feel so bad for him, have told him we need to go and have a chat with GP and it maybe a food allergy or something. He feels relived he has discussed it with me now, as he has been worrying about it for some time. Has anyone got any experience of this and any idea what might have caused I? He has previously had no health issues/allergies so this has come from no where really and I am so very worried.
