encopresis

Pronounced: en-kuh-PREE-sis. Kids with encopresis have a bowel problem that dulls the normal urge to use the bathroom, and they can\'t control the accidents that follow. When a kid is very constipated some liquid stuff that seems like diarrhea might leak around the hard poop that hasn\'t come out yet. Treating constipation makes encopresis better.
