Another cause of the urge to poop could be fecal or bowel incontinence, which can range from mild to complete loss of bowel control.
It may develop due to several factors, such as diarrhea, nerve damage in the rectum, damaged rectal muscles, damaged rectal walls, rectocele, or rectal prolapse.
Those who suspect they may have fecal incontinence should consult a doctor for a diagnosis and to discuss treatment options.
Diarrhea following a meal can also be common and often short-lived, but if it lasts a week or longer, it could point to a more serious health concern.
