He may be gluten sensitive, so get him off the pizza, hamburgers, pasta, and flour coated chicken strips...no gluten is worth a try.

That's all he will eat, minus the hamburgers. He is a very stubborn boy when it comes to food.

I know this is an old post and I don't know if your son is better now but if not, dairy products make encopresis worse so eliminating dairy products would be the first step. Also, administering mineral oil, retraining bowels, high fiber diet, and increased fluid intake should help. Saline enema's also help but considering his age it may not be a good idea. Hope this helps
