What Does Passing Stool After Every Meal Indicate?
Hi Doctor,
I am relatively healthy male, aged 53 who works in an office. I don't play sport anymore but walk every day for at least 30 minutes. I am a widower and live alone. I don't cook often so I don't eat enough fresh vegetables but I eat fruit every day, fish and chicken a couple of times a week and take plenty of vitamins, and drink regular smoothies enriched with superfoods, fruit and vegetables. Lately I have noticed that I am passing stools after every meal, often within about 10 minutes of eating. I don't feel sick or lethargic at all. I have long had problems with insomnia, combating stress, anxiety, poor self-esteem and depression. But the passing stools after meals is my main worry at the moment.

Passing stool after eating is very common complain and this is not due to any disease but this is just a physiological phenomenon and this is nothing to worry about this neither need any medicine for this, some time due to emotional disturbances this may be happening, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
