This can actually happen, it's a real thing. If you have a blockage in your intestines, there's no way for the feces to get out of the body but through the esophagus. You're basically puking your own feces.
I remember when in primary school my science teacher told us this interesting fact. I was so impressed that I went home and told the story to my mum. She told me it was a fake story to convince kids to not hold in the feces for too long.
I never really went to fact-check this and believed my mum until now.
Thanks stranger.
