Reply to comment by devlear in TIL, there's a condition called, "Encopresis" wherein the sufferer loses control of their bowels after holding in their stool as long as they can first. by SweetPrism

Doctor does not work that way. Go buy miralax and go use that, she said. In the end it took three or four different classes of laxatives, including the suppository, which I’ve never used on myself before, let alone a child.

The suppository went in, and no more than 3 seconds later the toilet was too full to flush.

I mean it worked that way for me. I think the only reason the doctor was involved is because my mother thought it was appendicitis, but the doctor gave us pills that had to be used for 3 days afterwards. In my case the doctor forced me to wait 30 minutes after delivering the pills.
