A member asked:
My nephew tends to have the urgent urge to go to toilet most times he finished eating. most times loose stools, what could be the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post meal bm's: When food enters our stomach, as part of the digestive process, intestinal muscles are set in motion to move food along(gastrocolic reflex). In some people this reflex is hyperactive causing urgent need for a BM which is very loose. Certain foods or irritable bowel syndrome can also cause this. Taking a medication like dicyclomine an hour before meals can slow this reflex. Discuss with his MD.
