Brief Answer:
Gastrocolic reflex

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The urge that you feel is due to a phenomenon called gastrocolic reflex (food in gastro or stomach triggers reflex in the colon) that may make you give you this urge each time that you take food. Usually it is seen in infants but can be seen in adults from time to time. Although it is uncomfortable, there is no cause to get concerned about it. I would insist you to take a fiber rich diet and to take plenty of water on regular basis. Nothing else needs to be done.

Let me know if I could help further.

Brief Answer:
Get a couple of tests done.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the update. I would insist you to get the following tests done:
* Blood for IgE level
* Blood for allergy profile

These will help in determining the further course of action in order to provide relief from the itchiness. Please upload the reports after you get them.

I will await your response.
