The Bowel Management Bootcamp is a seven-day outpatient program for children dealing with the inability to control when stool needs to stay inside or leave the body. This custom set of treatments is designed to keep your child free from stool accidents, so that he or she may be able to wear normal underwear and participate in normal activities.
