What Causes Stool Skid Mark In Kids?

My 4 year old hasn t had a poop accident in her panties for over a year, but lately she has had skid marks 2-3 times a day. I tell her to try to push out a poop but she tries and nothing comes out. She still poops somewhat regularly. My mom said her brother had either a twisted or compacted colon as a child that caused him to have skid marks. My daughter eats a good amount of fiber (plenty of fruits and veggies). Is this something I should be concerned about? I don t want to be getting mad about something that she can t help...

Hi....bybehst you quote I feel that your kid might be having encopresis....this is a condition where the kid will have constipation and some loose stool seeps in sides.

Treatment of constipation will automatically cure this.
