Maybe normal...: The action of eating spurs the intestines into motion (it is a reflex), so lots of people have bowel movements after meals.

Irritable bowel?: Concerned about ibs?, (irritable bowel syndrome): realize that normal bowel function varies from person to person. Normal bowel movements range from as many as three stools a day to as few as three a week. A normal movement is one that is formed but not hard, contains no blood, and is passed without cramps or pain. People with ibs, have crampy abdominal pain with painful constipation or diarrhea.

Normal: Physiology: it's called the gastro-colic reflex; food intake triggers the colon to empty to make room so the system doesn't overfill. Nothing to worry about.
