What would cause me to have to use the bathroom shortly after i eat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reflex : That's known as the "gastrocolic reflex." it's certainly stronger in some people and not thought of as a problem. However, if you never used to have that, and it's a change from your usual and isn't stopping, i would talk it over with your doctor to be sure nothing else is causing it.
