Help please - dirty knickers!

Name changed because I feel a bit icky writing about poo!

I need help with my DD who is reception aged, coming home with dirty knickers everyday 😟. She never has accidents, but is absolutely rubbish at wiping because her poo is so squidgy and gets everywhere. Today she had to be helped because she had smeared it all up her back and her school T-shirt. I feel sad that she can't keep clean.

She did seem to get better for a while because I removed milk from her diet (she said it made her tummy hurt) but have been using lacto-free because she seemed fine with that. Now the problem is back though.

Please don't say that I need to teach her how to wipe - I have done this for so long, but there's so much mess that she seems to struggle. It's almost like diarrhoea, but daily. I've been to the GP who basically said it's one of those things and that dairy intolerance is a bit of a fad!

She always seems to go after dinner at school, and rarely at home before or after when I could help her. I've thought about asking her to wait, but don't want to cause other problems.

Does anyone have any advice please 🤞?

Is she drinking enough water? Do you see how much if any is left in her bottle when she comes home? If she isn’t that could explain the squishy poo. More water may help with the consistency issues. Perhaps teachers could remind her to drink if needs be.
