A member asked:
When is bowel movement after food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Approx 30 min: Most people have a bm about 30 minutes after a meal...And generally only twice a day. If it is 3-4 x a day...Can be good diet or bowel transit time is too fast and digestion a problem. If poop every 3+ days, transit time is too slow and retaining toxins.
