My 7yr old suffers with constipation due to not drinking enough fluidsAngry and we're on the waiting list for the poo clinic. Was just inspecting this afternoon's deposit in her pants and it's really quite sparkly!Shock She swears she's not been eating glitter LOL and the sparkles are smaller anyway.
Just wondered if anyone had any theories?
Thanks.

My theory? It's glitter. I'm not saying she's poured a tube of glitter down her throat but maybe she's been idly chewing on a glittery pencil or similar. Maybe glitter nail-polish that she's nibbled off her nails? Or body glitter that she's put on her lips?

Glitter icing on a cake maybe?

Suppose it could be off on a fancy pencil or anything with that see-through foil.
Prettiest poo I ever sawGrin.

I think you should take a photo and post on your profile page so we can discuss.

Someone once put a ball of silver paper in my mums loo. It floated, and we thought someone had been eating silver. Duh. Grin

GladlyGrin but not sure they would show up, they have to be at certain angles to catch the light.

Friend once found his landlord's keys in their loo one morning. He was too chicken to ask wtf (guy was a Glaswegian ex-skinhead) but we've spent many happy years speculating.
