What can be done on having a bowel movement immediately after eating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal reaction: It is normal to have an urge to go to the bathroom after a meal. This is called the gastrocolic reflex. There is no need to worry about this and there is nothing to do about it, because it is normal
