Doctor explains what it means if you always need to poop straight after eating

The Bottom Line

Needing to poop soon after eating is usually a sign of a healthy, responsive digestive system, not a medical problem. But if the urgency is extreme, painful, or disruptive to daily life, it’s worth talking to a doctor.

Your gut has its own rhythm—and sometimes, it just doesn’t like to wait.

If you want, I can:

• Make this shorter and more viral
• Rewrite it in a Q&A doctor interview style
• Add a “foods that trigger urgency” list
• Or tailor it for IBS or gut-health audiences
