What Causes Dark Yellow Watery Stools After Eating?
Question: every time I eat ,a half hr later I have diarea my stool is a darker Yellow
Brief Answer:
Due to gastrocolic reflex
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. However, let me assure you that it is occurring due to a phenomenon called gastrocolic reflex. The gastrocolic reflex is a partly neurogenic process in which there is an increase in colonic motility, triggered by eating, when food passes from the stomach into the upper part of the small intestine. Occasionally it is found in adults. It is normal and nothing needs to be done about it.
However, if you still want relief from it, taking Immodium will help slow the gut and should lessen your problem.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
