Please tell me your positive stories and how you helped your child. DS was born with a hole in his bowel and later had his bowel trapped and damaged by scar tissue and then an operation on his bowel. All in all it is much like hirshsprungs in that a part of his bowel does not recieve sensations and it is making toilet training a bit of a job. He is keen to try and getting really good with wees. He wants to pooh on the toilet but really doesn't seem to get any warning they are coming and then gets all upset and doesn't want anyone to know and deny's there is anything there etc. Any help would be appreciated.

sorry i haven't had to do this, but I know someone who's daughter has something wrong with her bowel (not sure if it's hirshsprung's). Her dd is 3 (nearly 4) and they are keeping her in nappies for the moment. Her dd is quite happy with this though. How old is your ds and have his doctors suggested anything.

Firstly thank you so much for answering, I thought I would need to start a new thread. Doctors are being very unhelpful and have suggested keeping him in nappies also but he is keen to try. He is 3.4. He is not doing too well in regards to keeping dry either so he may well not be ready but he really wants to wear pants.
