What Causes Hunger Immediately After Bowel Movement?
After a bowel movement, I become hungry. I am not sure if it is because I am always on my feet at work (retail) or if it is because of my anxiety and depression, or if my body just needs food. I drink protein smoothies to give me a quick snack to subside the hunger, but it doesn't last very long. Any ideas?
Thank you :-)
