Hi everyone,
I have been getting up every morning checking the sink for brown surprises, and so far there have been none, a week and a half and no poo. I still catch him peeing from time to time but no poo. I have eliminated most of the dairy in his diet and it seems to be working. I realize this may be tempting fate setting this down in print. 
He still wakes me way too early in the morning, he yells and bites himself, but at least I am not continuously cleaning up poo. 
I have him wearing Depends and I can usually smell him and clean him up. I am pleased.

    Who ever thought we'd be cheering the lack of poo in a sink? What a strange world we live in.

    But I am cheering for you.

       Congratulations!  May this be the beginning of a new season. “ the clean sink season!” 

    This is why I like this site , because when you live this crazy life, no one really gets it but a fellow traveler. My husband would go up to any chair and pee and poop there.thought they were toilets.  Had to cover everything with waterproof dog blankets ( the kind for when you take your dog to the beach and need a cover for the car seat) When my husband graduated to depends pull-ups , I remember thinking what an amazing invention it was! Lol. Now he just uses the depends and isn’t really aware anything has occurred . 

       I think you have endured so much during this phase. And my impression is that you have survived with all your marbles. No small feat. I really truly hope this is the end of it. And now it’s a tiny bit easier for you in the future.
