What Goes In And What Comes Out

Poopcast

In this episode, we learned about how what goes in our bodies affects what comes out. In other words, we explored how what foods to eat affects our poop. We offered tips on how to stay hydrated (why? Listen to find out!) and we discussed medications with a little help from Nancy Glass-Quattrin, RN, BSN. Learn more at her website: https://www.encopresistreatment.com/

Discuss with your child after listening:

• You might set up by having your child tell you things they can do to take care of their body (ex: brushing teeth, eating growing food, etc.) Then you can segway into taking care of their stomach. You can ask, "What eating habits can you incorporate into your life?" Talk to your child about drinking more water and about taking medication, and make sure they understand why they're doing it.

It has been summer for a few weeks now, which means I am officially a 7th grader! That being, I am on summer break just like you, and won't be coming out with any more episodes for a little while, but I still want to keep going, and I bet you want me to, too! You can keep Poopcast going with your marvelous ideas! Do you have questions about poop or suggestions for future episodes? Send them to me at [email protected]! I look forward to seeing them!

Thanks so much to Andrea, Missy, Courtney, Sigal, Nance, Caleb, Andy, Debbie, and Nancy Glass-Quattrin for helping make Poopcast possible. I wouldn't have been able to have done ant of this without you all!
