Is Bowel Movement After Every Meal A Cause For Concern?

Please advise on this rapid bowel movement trouble.
Please follow the suggestions below..
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking on HCM!
I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows:
1. You are reporting to have bowel movement right after meal. These symptoms may be related with:
- IBS (irritable bowel symptoms)
- thyroid issues like hyperthyroidism or Armor Thyroid side effects
- malabsorption
2. If I were your treating doctor I would suggest to do further exams to better evaluate the cause of your issues like :
- TSH, T3,T4
- abdominal ultrasound
- fecal exams for food malabsorption
3.Meantime I suggest to :
- avoid fatty and sugar foods
- use lactose and gluten free diet
- avoid spicy foods
- avoid alcohol and coffee.
Hope it was helpful to you

I believe it would be a good idea to get the test done again now along with other tests you suggested right? Also is it required to have colonoscopy done for diagnosis?
Please follow...
Detailed Answer:
Hi back
Thank you for giving more of your medical data.
Yes at your situation I strongly suggest to repeat thyroid hormones tests.
With regards to colonoscopy regarding your history and your age it is not the firts test that I would suggest.
Otherwise it is the best test to evaluate large bowel.
So after you have finished the exams I suggested above you can do colonoscopy.
Hope it was helpful to you.
