| Given all the information we have by doctors and psychologists, we realize that there are instances of Encopresis that begin due to a stressor in life such as the death of a close family member. But regardless of the reason it began, we all know that diet is one of the main keys to controlling it. I have designed this page for parents of Encopretic children to use as a guide to a healthy diet in hopes of controlling the Encopresis. Hopefully this will help as I know it did us. Please remember, as with any advice, always check with your childs pediatrician before trying anything new. |
