I don't think it's diarrhea. It just keeps on coming out. He goes to the bathroom and cleans himself and by the time he is done cleaning himself, it is already coming out again and soiled his pants. Has anyone had this problem or with their child...please help...what can I do?
What can I do to help him besides talking to his doctor because I have already done that. Are there any medications or foods he can take for it? Or ANYTHING else please! Thank You!

Well, bananas are binding and applesauce as well. you could try a little Metamucil, which is a bulk former, but that would be if the stool was watery. The best bet would be to try some yogurt, the kind which lists in the ingredients "active cultures". That contains bacteria normally found in the large intestine which keep the stool solid. You don't say whether your sons stools are liquid or simply frequent. Diarrhea is defined as watery stools, not quantity, simply descriptive characteristic.
Is he eating too much fruits or vegetable, drinking a large amount of fluid? It could also be an allergic response to a food or medicine.
Oh if your son is on antibiotics, then this is a common side effect. You could try Imodium AD if that's the case as you don't want to stop the antibiotic, just the diarrhea, but be careful that he's not allergic to it.
If he's very young, I'd consider lactose intolerance. This causes cramping and diarrhea after having any milk based product, Ice cream, cheese, butter, milk being the most common culprits.
I think you need to find a new doctor. At the very least he should have done a stool culture to make sure your son didn't have an infection. And he should have given you all of the above advise, including getting him to drink Gatorade or pedialyte, to replace the liquid and electrolytes lost with the diarrhea.
Good luck

You need to take him to a Gastrologist (doctor) and take him quickly. Have you ever thought of sexual abuse or a disease? I would not wait another minute and get a nurse from a hospital to give you a recommendation.

try giving him foods that have more carbo hydrates then fiber...less fruits that contain fiber. More pasta or white bread.
Also you might need to see a specialist like a Gastro-Interologist. They specialize in the stomach.
