    Don't know about students, but I have plenty of very constipated older folks come in. Haven't pooped for a week or two, and the first words out of their mouth is "what time is supper? I haven't eaten since lunch and I'm hungry!" Hmmmmm.

    im not a nurse (yet) but there was this kid that I carpooled with when I was in elementary school, he was "in pain" he even used a wheelchair half the year, I guess the doctors couldn't figure it out, but then they did...he was just constipated because he wouldn't eat fruits and vegetables.

    Then more recently, someone I know went to the ER with serious back pain, all seriously telling me she couldn't move....turns out same thing just needed to poop.

    Same thing my parents had an exchange student who made my mom take her to the doctors, the dr ran all sorts of tests and said nothing was wrong with her, my mom said same thing just needed to poop so she fed her some heavy oatmeal/fruit pancakes and it solved the problem.

    With 5 kids, it happens in my house on the regular. I ask if they have to go #2, they say no, I ask them to try, and walla, belly ache is gone

    I bet these kids are holding it because they don't want to poop in the regular bathrooms at school. They want the privacy of your throne!

    I'm amazed at the nurses I work with who flat out refuse to take a poop at work! One was even doubled over in pain after eating and she just insisted on holding it until she got home!

    I agree that there's nothing like the home throne advantage - but when ya gotta go, ya gotta go!
