A member asked:

Usually i poop 1hr after breakfast but now i have skool, have 2 poop @skool, i have a stressful class 1st and this stress causes loose stool@school? thx

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

So sorry: Maybe you could eat breakfast a little earlier so you can poop before school. I think you'll feel better and won't need to poop in school. Good luck.
