Bowel movement soon after eating?

Question:

This is a pretty 'new' problem. everytime i eat, after about 5 minutes i have a BM, it's not diarrhea but its not as solid as it could be either. no problem during the rest of the day, ONLY after i've eaten. makes no difference in what i eat either.

any ideas on what could be wrong?

Answers:
Sounds to me like IBS or irritable Bowel Syndrome. It happens to me too.
Just drink more water - and I mean way more water - you're gonna feel like floating away
and try staying away from greasy food - like sausages, bacon, butter, margarine ect. I find greasy foods don't like me much. They make run and run.. and run.and run.

Learn to cook differently. Fry eggs with a spray such as Pam or something. Or try them hard boiled.

Keep a diary of what you eat and how it makes you feel or not feel - everything from cramps to BM's to stomach aches, headaches. the whole 9 yards. Pretty soon you should see a pattern develop with certain foods that will make you go.

Oh and more more thing.. IBS can just "happen" to you one day out of the blue.

You may have irritable bowel syndrome or dumping syndrome.only way to know for sure is to go see your doctor.

prob nothing. your body may change. this may just be temp. some people have one a day, two three a day and some may only have one every two or three days. and that may change, we are human not robots Go buy some Activa yogurt and eat it everyday. See if that helps. It worked for me and a friend of mine.

Sometimes, I have the same problem. It will be that way for a long time. And then I will have only 2-3 BM a day. I have been told that it is healthy. -- But I guess asking a Doctor would be a good idea. You can also check out www.webmd.com

Hope this helps ;) u r description is called "gastrocoloic reflex". though its absolutely normal, its embarrasing to people when they are in social circumstances. the problem is psychologic and usually *** with depression or fear hidden.
try controllin ur stools for a bit longer and delaying will allow u to develop better control

Not really, but when you have a health concern the BEST place to check is with your doctor. It oculd be nothing or it could be something more serious. In either case, go to a qualified medical professional.
