Why do I have to poo when I get nervous?
This is very common (don't be embarrassed). Stress can cause 'tenesmus' which is the feeling that you gotta go right now! It is likely that you have a sensitive gut. Have a google of Irritable Bowel Syndrome for more info. When you have to go, don't hold it in... your gut works overtime when you're nervous or anxious and it's often a bit 'diarrhoea-like' when it comes out. IBS also often means that you'll have periods of constipation. So, the way to handle it this: A little constipated: take some fibre capsules or a fibre drink. Diarrhoea: go when you need to go and take it as a warning that you're stressed and need to actively relax a bit. Avoid caffeine and other stimulants as a sensitive gut with IBS can increase activity in response to these. IBS isn't really a medically treatable thing unless the constipation or diarrhoea get really unmanageable, but people usually manage. (A sore tummy can happen too, but usually relieves after a poop). Another thing that's kinda special about IBS is that you won't wake from sleep having to go to the bathroom because when alseep, you're more relaxed. Although, you can wake in the morning and have to go... it just won't wake you in hte middle of the night. If you ever get blood in your poop or fleshy bits, go and see your doctor as it may indicate something else going such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. All the best!
Why do we poop when we are nervous?
the other day at collage, I had the biggest test ever, that would count for half of your grade. I studied and everything but I was still really nervous. when I sat on my table, and kneled down to get a pencil from my bag it smelled really bad so I went to the bathroom, and I pooped in my pants. I had to go change and when I came back to start the test, I didnt even have time to finish half of it. I got a 62% on my test. I was freaking out!!!!
Why do dogs poop when they get nervous?
Why? Ever heard the saying "scared s**tless"? That's the literal meaning. Poor doggie, he must have seen some horrors in his time to be so sensitive to new things. I read a book about how to turn shy dogs into confident ones, and it said that to improve submissive urination and defecation you have to keep doing what you were doing, speak with a calm low voice (no "poor baby" whining though) and ignore the behaviour. If you scold him, you reinforce his fear of the situation. If you pity him, he will know that he gets attention this way. According to this book, a solution to avoid the poo situation is to insert a baby suppository in his rectum before fear-triggering situations, to spare yourself trouble or imbarassment. This way the dog will "go" before entering the hotel, house or anywhere new he fears, and will have nothing in his bowels to empty at the wrong time. Also taking group dog training classes helps nervous dogs. I think you should read this book, it's interesting and gives valuable advice.
Do you have to poop when you get nervous?
Do you have to poop when you get nervous?Personally, never. So glad you didn’t ask about peeing!But seriously, nervousness, anxiety, or stress-related urge to defecate is more common than some might realize.Stress, Anxiety, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)Personally I think it is related to the “fight or flight” response when physiologically we’re preparing for physical action and our gastrointestinal system is trying to immediately (and literally) dump less vital survival-related functions, such as anything in our digestive systems. Fighting (or running/taking flight) requires a huge amount of physiological resources and proper digestion takes a lot of the same resources so the body essentially dumps digestive processes (this also means one may have to vomit, or defecate, depending on where food is in the digestive tract) so that one can fight/run. Typically in most urban, so-called civilized settings though the stress and anxiety we go through don’t need a physical fight or flight response, but our bodies are still hardwired to dump due to our emotional states.

This is embarrasing, why do I have to poop when im nervous?
It's part of the stress response. When stressed, levels of epinephrine/adrenaline rise and it causes you to sweat, heart beat faster, pupils dilate, blood go to your muscles, and it also revs up your colon. It's all a part of the "flight or fight" response and it helps prepare your body for just that.
Why do I get nauseous when I'm nervous?
You aren't alone, it is very common. People talk about being nervous by saying they've got butterflies in the stomach, or the get stomach cramps, it's a common reaction. We also do things like hold our breath when we are nervous, so breathing becomes really important to help the body relax. Look at that next time you feel nervous - take note whether you are breathing or not.This information from a site dealing with anxiety How to Get Rid of Nausea Caused by Anxiety:Generally, nausea comes from the release of epinephrine, more commonly known as "adrenaline." This disrupts the acids, enzymes, and functions of your stomach and intestine, which leads to nausea-related symptoms. Anxiety can also make it more difficult for your body to process food. That's why many people with anxiety have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which also causes nausea.Both anxiety and stress also have an effect on hormones, which regulate the acids and enzymes in your stomach and gut. Stress can also cause muscle tension in your abdomen, and that added tension may be squeezing your stomach in a way that leads to anxiety.
