Thats not true: It is not true and if it was we will all be running to toilet to move our bowels after each meal. There is a condition called gastro colic reflux it has been called into place in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome, and a number of neuropeptides have been thought as mediater of gastrocolic reflux.These are serotonin, neurotensin, gastrin and cholecystokinin.
