HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, although it may not be illness but certain conditions are there and that need to be ruled out like diet changed, timing of defecation being changed and very important is phobia, threaten, fear.
It is matter that demands the attention by parents, first try to change the diet pay attention toward the timing if it is ever changed, even after this the condition remains as it is then you will have to look out for the matter given above.
hope this information helps.
