My son did some fecal smearing when he was younger. Rightly or wrongly I treated it as a gastric issue - I figured that sometimes he could feel that he needed to eliminate but perhaps he was finding it difficult to go when using the toilet. ….. So I started to give him Slippery Elm and diatomaceous earth (in orange juice) and I made sure he had plenty of vegetables and drank plenty of water. I also had him squat to go (you can buy foot stools which enable a squatting position when using the loo. All this helped, and my son no longer smears faeces. He does, however, urinate in various vessels (vases, bottles etc) ….. this has started since puberty started, so I am hoping that he will grow out of it eventually.
