Japanese: 胃・大腸反射 - いだいちょうはんしゃ
Gastric and large intestinal reflex

If you hold back on your bowel movements at this time, the stimulation to defecate disappears, and if this is repeated, the defecation reflex of the rectum becomes dull, making you more likely to develop constipation. …

*Some of the terminology that refers to the "gastrocolic reflex" is listed below.
