What Causes Diarrhea After Eating Food?
Very often I have to poop within 10 minutes of eating. It’s diarrhea and often explosive. It doesn’t matter what I just ate. It’s not every meal. I have asked a PA about a year ago and she didn’t seem concerned. I’m 65 and have had my gall bladder removed about 3 years ago. No symptoms prior.
