A member asked:
My boyfriend uses the bathroom to defecate right after every meal is something wrong?

Maybe: Food does tend to trigger the need to have a bowel movement (it is a type of reflex), but it is unusual to have to have a bowel movement after every single meal. Please have him see his doctor to make sure nothing is wrong.
