There are many possibilities for diarrhea after meals. There are several common reasons. Colon cancer is generally not considered:

1. Strong gastric mucosal reflex

After ingesting food, the food will flow into the stomach with the esophagus, causing irritation to the gastric mucosa. Everyone's gastric mucosa is different and has different sensitivities. Some stomachs are more sensitive and release more dissolved substances, which will stimulate Peristalsis of the intestines to aid digestion.

Second, why does the abdomen always turn over and overturn before the diarrhea?

During diarrhea, the first reaction of people is not a tight anus, but severe pain in the abdomen, so the stomach pain evolves into the first signal of diarrhea.

If you accidentally eat food containing germs , these germs will also enter the digestive tract with the food. At this time, the intestines stirred by the germs cannot be absorbed smoothly, and the food will accumulate in the intestines.
