Is it good or bad to use the restroom right after you eat?
Question:
Answers:
it sounds like you could have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).
In IBS, your pattern of bowel movements varies at least 25% of the time. Two or more of the following may happen:5
Bowel movements may occur either more often (diarrhea) or less often (constipation) than usual, such as having more than 3 bowel movements a day or less than 3 per week.
Bowel movements may differ in size or consistency (may be hard and pelletlike, pencil-thin, or loose and watery).
The way stools pass changes. You may strain, feel an urgent need to have a bowel movement, or feel that you haven't completely passed a stool.
You may have bloating or a feeling of gas in the intestines.
Nothing wrong with that. It doesn't mean that your food went right through - filling your stomach activates your colon, but what you discharge are the remains of an earlier meal.
