My best friends ds, and therefore her too, have had what I can only describe as a hellish 3 weeks re. pooing. I have googled encopresis and told her to do the same. I just would like to hear from anyone who has dealt with this so that I can help her in some way. she is not on-line at home so has not mumsnetted before. What can I say to make her feel better? they were over today and I found it very unpleasant, never mind poor her having to do the 'hands on' bit.She is at her wits end. Help!
