What Causes Bowel Movement Immediately On Intake Of Food?

For the 3-5 days, my husband has to go to the bathroom (bowel movement) after he eats. His diet has not changed during this time frame, meaning no new foods or extra fiber added to his diet. Any clues what this could be? What can we try & do to combat this?

Hi,

This can be due to various reasons such as anxiety nervousness and any kind of infection in the gastrointestinal tract. It can also result due to any medication like antibiotics etc. Changes in GUT flora can also result in irregular bowel movements.

As your history is brief, nothing concrete can be said. However, you can take probiotic with food for few days and identify any food and substitute it. If there is any kind of stress, you need to relax and get a consultation with psychologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sohail Hussain Zargar, Dentist
