Doctor explains what it means why if you always need to poop straight after eating

A doctor has revealed what it means if you go for a number two straight away after eating food.

According to one TikToking doctor, if you’ve found yourself making a beeline to the toilet every time after you eat then ‘you’re not alone’,

What does it mean?
A Tiktok doctor reveal if you go for a number two straight after eating ‘it’s not because this food is moving instantly throughout your gastrointestinal tract’.

Instead, he explains: “When you eat and you feel like you have to use the restroom right after this is something called the gastrocolic reflex.”

What the gastrocolic reflex means
VeryWell Health announces: “The gastrocolic reflex is a physiological reflex that stimulates movement in your lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract after eating.

“It isn’t a disease or medical condition, but rather a normal reflex that helps your body make room for more food within your GI tract after eating.”

Dr Salhab breaks it down further, explaining ‘your stomach stretches and then this sends signals to your brain which then sends signals to your colon’.

“Your colon then begins to contract to make more room for the food, that reflex makes you have to use the restroom right after you eat,” he continues. “Because your colon normally houses stool and water, the stuff that’s actually coming out is old digested food and water.”

Heightened reflex
People diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can have a particularly sensitive gastrocolic reflex.

Cleveland Clinic notes IBS ’causes uncomfortable or painful abdominal symptoms’ and ‘constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating are all common symptoms of IBS’.
