Is it normal poop when nervous?

11 Comments

So whenever I get nervous or really excited about something, I have to poop all of a sudden. Like if I'm going to an amusement park and I'm excited to leave soon, I have to go poop. Or if I have a big test coming up and I'm nervous, I make a run to the bathroom. And it doesn't matter if I've already gone or I didn't have to go before, as soon as I get excited or nervous, I've gotta poop.

    I think it's normal. Same thing happens to me when I'm nervous. Like before an audition, or a big exam, or an interview. Embarrassing, but I usually allow myself extra time in case it happens.

    I guess your adrenaline rush is so intense that its only release is the poopy train
    I think my grandpa has a similar issue. kind of. he has to poop every time we leave the house, first thing every morning, maybe its an anxiety thing?

    I know a bunch of people like this so I'd say it's normal.

    You should see a doctor, I think it has something to do with your ANS.

    It's an anxious reaction. Totally normal.
