Would you send DD to school tomorrow?  (8 Posts) EvilTwins Mon
14-Jan-13 19:16:19  DD's school called me at work - DD had been
sick. DH went to pick her up.  DD has always had mild-medium
bowel issues -laxatives when she was a toddler, but still
withholds her poos far too much. On two or three occasions in
the last 2 years, she has withheld poos to the point that her
system is so backed up she has been sick. This is what happened
today - once we got her home, she did a massive (sorry - TMI)
poo, and afterwards was absolutely fine - ate her dinner, was
totally herself. I am not after help with the constipation issue
- we do have laxatives for her, but are trying to control it
through her diet, and through encouraging her to go more often -
thing is, she's 6 now, and knows that it might hurt to poo, so
she holds it in (sorry sorry - TMI) to the point that it does
hurt, and then we start the cycle again.  So, would you send her
in tomorrow? Her sickness was nothing anyone else can catch, but
the school does say,
