An Epic Poop Story
You know that feeling you get when your stomach does that tightening thing. Everything from your lower stomach to your sphincter contracts as your body knows something is desperately trying to rush out. Of course, there are different levels of pressure and pain depending on what you ate, how long ago you ate it, and how long you have been holding off eliminating it.
