A. frequently passing of motions after meals is generally seen and normal in children unless it is associated with some chronic infection like amoebiasis or may be indigestion or could be habitual also .so it needs proper assessment to rule out the cause, but if the smell,colour and consistency of thefrl motion is moreorless normal and there is no other problem like fever or vomiting you should not worry for now . you can give probiotic enterogermina probiotic 2 times a day and consult doctor for proper treatment if problem continues.

A. Hello, The most likely cause of needing to poop right after eating is the gastrocolic reflex. This reflex is a normal involuntary reaction to food entering the stomach. However, the intensity of the gastrocolic reflex can vary among individuals.
