Reply to comment by Cuillin 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

Right, what the guy above is saying I took to mean that people who are in an emergency situation where they have to hold it in and then end up pooping their pants, have held it in as long as they could.

But that’s not what they said. They suggested ALL BM’s are the result of holding it in as long as you can

I’m not reading it that way. The qualifier about pooping pants is important.

I had a dodgy belly one time, didn't feel like I needed to poop right at that moment, certainly wasn't holding it in or anything - but I casually coughed and sharted my pants there and then.
