GI problem: There is a reflex called the gastro-colic reflex where food in the stomach, especially caffeine sets off a reflex bowel movement. However loose frothy stools are NOT normal. It may be a short-lived problem such as a viral or bacterial pathogen in the GI tract. If it goes on for a month or more, then it should be evaluated by a gastroenterologist. You may need a colonoscopy.
