This only applies on longer distance flights - short hauls (LAX-SFO) have never been a problem.
--In addition to the above posters' comments, it could be natural/evolutionary psychology: when youre in an unfamiliar environment, your body feels vulnerable, and when going #2 it is "vulnerable," exposed. I have experienced this as well, even after going upon arrival not mvoing the next few days. good idea to bring some fiber tablets along I think. . . .
