A member asked:
I alrrdal asked the question about is it normal to use the bathroom after a meal ? but is it ok for your bowel to be soft and watery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abnormal: Urgent loose bowel movements after a meal are often a sign of irritable bowel syndrome. Try to identify offending foods. If you can't, taking an antispasmodic medication like bentyl 1/2 hour before the meal may prevent the urgent loose bowel movements. Discuss with your physician or consult a gastroenterologist for evaluation.
