At night or asleep?: Awakened at night to move bowels can be seen with a number of organic bowel problems including inflammatory bowel disease, infection, parasites. Irritable bowel generally not so. Bm while asleep (encopresis) not normal. Could be neurologic problem, or muscular problem with anal sphincter.Passing a little bit of stool due to gas, less an issue. Alcohol involved with symptoms? See md in any event.
