 [ Symptoms ] my 8 yr old poops and pees almost daily what could be causing this and how can i help him  he used to have the occasional accident but now it is almost daily i really want to help [ Disease ] i am sorry your child is going through this it can be very unsettling to lose control of bodily functions when a child who was previously toilet trained suddenly begins to have accidents    especially frequent accidents    the first thing you should do is get him to a doctor for an examination there could be an underlying medical cause such as a food allergy for your child is behavior the second thing to think about is whether or not your child has experienced any psychological trauma this could be bullying by another child or something more sinister like inappropriate touching by an adult you might gently ask your son in a loving way if anything specific has happened to him in this regard be sure to stress that he is not in trouble and you are not blaming him but first things first have his pediatrician examine him be sure to provide a complete history to the doctor including when these accidents started how frequently they occur what foodsbeverages your child is consuming and so on all of this information will help your pediatrician arrive at a medical diagnosis if there is one i wish you and your son all the best
