Why do I feel hungry, and then immediately need to go to the toilet after eating?
Asked by Male, 45 · 3 months ago
This happens most commonly due to a strong gastrocolic reflex, which is a typical digestive response where eating triggers the intestines to contract and push stool forward, making you feel the urge to pass motion soon after a meal. The hunger sensation may come from stomach irritation, fast digestion, or conditions like gastritis or irritable bowel syndrome, which can make the gut more sensitive. If this pattern occurs often, or if you also have pain, loose stools, or weight changes, it is advisable to see a doctor to check for any underlying stomach or bowel issues.
