Having the urge to poop after eating? It may be the gastrocolic reflex and what it says about your health

If one finds this urge to be bothersome, but there is no serious issue, then:
Eat smaller and frequent meals: Rather than having a one large-heavy meal, smaller meals reduces the stomach stretch and prevents reflex
Avoid known triggers: Very high fat meals, large portions, caffeine or spicy foods can all amplify the condition of reflex

Eat in a relaxed environment: Stress, hurried meals, or strong emotions when combined with eating, all at once heightens the gut responses.
Hydrate yourself: Regular movement and proper hydration helps with digestion and gut motility.

If any symptoms persist, especially with any of the red flags listed above, immediately consult a gastroenterologist.
