I have heard of people taking stool softeners to lose weight, so I always thought that if you eat a huge meal then poop, it is almost like throwing up , but from the other end .....

Well....are you taking stool softeners? If not and you do this quite often, you could have a gastro problem. I have crohns disease and believe it or not you can empty out what you just ate! It's called dumping syndrome! Seriously! I know there have been alot of silly things said here, but if you are doing this frequently please make a doctor appointment you need to see a gastro doc pronto! Good Luck!

No, because your body doesn't digest that fast.
If you poo RIGHT after a big meal, that means your intestines were already full and when you ate, the big meal pushed it down more.
Try eating a many small meals a day, and eat good foods. Don't use stool softeners EVER to loose weight as it messes with your bodies natural digestion and you won't get all the nutrients you need out of the food.

No. It is not the same. If you are using stool softneners to lose weight.. it is a bad idea. Otherwise, you just had a lot of food in your body waiting to come out. After the really big meal ... that is what would normally happen. Good Luck ! :)

It's not like throwing up at all. It take whatever you eat between 24 and 48 hours to be fully digested and excreted. The food you just ate, unless you take meds to make something else occur, won't be seen as feces for about a day or more. The big movement is last night's dinner. It's also totallt healthy solong as the feces is of the normal color and consistency.

There is no way your body could process food that fast. Your probably just push what was in there already out to make room for what you just ate. Stool softener do not make you loose wait. eating less and excises is the only way to loose weight.

A bowel movement directly after you eat is an indication that your stomache was full and it is simply making room for more.
Remember our bodies get rid of waste and use the nutrients and the good parts to pass thru our body. The waste is what is being moved and the new goods are moving in. Believe me some people don't know shiit but I know my shiit.

No it's getting rid of your past meals to make room for the new food to get processed so later it can be eliminated. It's the first in first out rule.

It's called the Gastro-Intestinal reflex.
It is the reason why most babies will drop a deuce right around feeding time.
It starts when you are a baby and kind of carries over.

I think that you need to find a good biology book and do some reading so that you can understand the human body and it's functions.

Everyone usually has a bowel movement after eating.
