My son is now 11 at high school and soils himself he's on movicol which works I can get him to use the toilet at home but when at school he won't use there toilets an soils himself although it may not be like a full bowel movement he has change of clothes if this happen I meet with the school at end of each term I know he has bad days but this school seems to think take your meds an it will be sorted but from what I've read on other sites it takes a long time

He's taking a laxative on a daily basis? Of course he soils himself. He needs to be seen by a Physician. His medication is known to be unpredictable.

He's 11 and in high school?

Take him to a good chiropractor and get him off medication. He may not be ready for high school at 11. If he's that ahead of the system, how about home schooling?

The question is about what to do with a son who soils himself. Home schooling is not going to change that problem.

If he is on this particular medication for Irritable Bowel Sydrome a Chiropractor is going to be of little or no help.
