Not long after dinner, I want to poop. What's going on?

After eating, you will want to defecate soon. In general, it is related to unreasonable diet, food allergies, acute gastroenteritis and other factors.

1. Unreasonable diet, such

as eating more cold or cold food, may stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, leading to accelerated gastrointestinal motility, resulting in rapid excretion of food residues through the intestine, causing the desire to defecate.

2. Food allergies

If you are allergic to some foods, such as milk, soybeans, peanuts, etc., after intake, it can cause intestinal allergic reactions, resulting in increased desire to defecate, mostly manifested as diarrhea symptoms.

3. Acute gastroenteritis

If you eat deteriorated food, due to contamination by bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, it can cause intestinal inflammation, resulting in accelerated intestinal motility, increased osmotic pressure, causing urgent defecation.
