What Causes Bowel Movement After Every Meal?

Hi Dr Andrew I go to toilet to empty my bowel after every meal. That is once each after breakfast, lunch, and diner and possible go four times if I had snacks in between meal. Other people I know say they go to toilet either once every two days or at most once a day. I am 62 years old, 5 4 tall and weigh 64 kg. I suspect that this may be responsible for my skinny looks. I will like to reduce the toileting to just once a day. What shall I do?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bowel movement after every meal . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food poisoning , infections and inflammatory conditions of the digestive tract I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order endoscopy , x-ray , ultrasound and CT scan . Doctor may prescribe laxative , lopramide along with ornidazole , omeprazole or albendazole . For now take non spicy and light food and eat frequent and light meals .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
