A member asked:
Whatever i eat or drink except water i have to go to the bathroom why is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This may be: a heightened "gastro-colic" reflex ( The intestines increase motility when the stomach is DISTENDED that's why water doesn't "do it") This overactive reflex is seen in some cases of irritable bowel syndrome and if really bothersome can be reduced with the use of a prescription anti-motility drug! Discuss with your Family Physician or PCP Primary care Provider) Hope this helps! \Dr Z
