I am the mother of a seven year old boy who I knew was suffering from encopresis. I was so frustrated with the recommendations I had been receiving from my pediatrician, gastroenterologist, and others to no avail. My son had chronic stomach pain and X‑rays consistently revealed backed up stool in his intestines. In an effort to learn more and search for solutions, I came upon Dr. Daum’s profile online and his experience with encopresis. I was skeptical, and put off this option — due to finances and timing. I wish I had done it even sooner! It would have saved us all a tremendous amount of heartache and agony, not to mention the fact that in the interim, my son’s self esteem and mood were declining due to his level of discomfort and irritability. Michelle spent a significant amount of time with me on the phone to get our family history and background information. I felt heard and understood. We chose a week at the end of summer to consult with Dr. Daum. I followed his instructions and he knows this disorder inside and out. We spoke daily and he told me the amount of meds and the time we needed to spend in the bathroom each day. I can confidently say that by doing this, he can help your child! Ever since this intervention, my son has not had one accident and has not soiled himself even once. His strategy is effective. I am so grateful to him for his expertise and his wisdom that has come from his years of experience in dealing with encopresis. It goes without saying how highly I recommend him if your child is struggling with encopresis. It will be the best decision you can ever make for your child, not to mention your entire family. My now eight year old son is thriving, confident, and like a different child. I cannot recommend Dr. Daum highly enough.
