If you frequently feel the need to poop right after eating, it is often due to a natural reflex in your digestive system known as the gastrocolic reflex. This response is generally normal but can sometimes be a sign of an underlying condition. Here’s what doctors explain about this phenomenon:
The Gastrocolic Reflex: What Is It?
The gastrocolic reflex is a natural reaction triggered by the stomach when food enters it. This reflex:
