There is a group of people in life who want to go to the toilet within a few minutes after eating, commonly known as "rhythmia". People with constipation envy this "skill", but some people say that people with "rhythmia" are excreted before they can absorb the nutrition of food.

Is "rectal" a disease?
Going to the toilet shortly after eating or going to the toilet is a physiological phenomenon. This phenomenon of the reflexive stomach reflexes causing increased colon movement after eating is called "gastric colon reflex".
Gastric colonic reflex is a function that physiologically regulates gastrointestinal movement. After receiving food in the stomach, through nerve reflex, colon exercise occurs, promoting stool excretion.
If this phenomenon of "pulling after eating" has lasted for a long time or even for many years, but has a good appetite, no problem with eating, no discomfort after defecation, does not affect normal life and work, does not suddenly drop in weight, or even steadily rise, and there is no thick mucus like bloody stools or yellow nose, then you don't have to worry too much. In this case, the probability of an intestinal tract suffering from organic disease is very small.
Some situations are likely to be pathological, such as changes in stool traits (such as thinning and unformalized, blood or mucus), abdominal pain, and weight loss, then relevant examinations are required. The most intuitive and accurate is colonoscopy .
There is a kind of "rectal" that is irritable bowel syndrome
There are indeed a few people with too strong gastric colon reflexes, and they have strong and urgent stool after meals. It may also cause intestinal peristalsis and abdominal pain due to high sensitivity.
Capital Medical University Xuanwu Hospital General Surgery Chief Physician Liu Diangang said that irritable bowel syndrome, as the name suggests, is a syndrome in which the intestines are prone to excitement.
Simply put, it means that intestinal peristalsis is too fast or spasm. The two most common symptoms are abdominal pain and diarrhea. Peristalsis is too fast, which can lead to diarrhea, while spasm can lead to pain. Irritable bowel syndrome is also called a civilized disease because people with greater stress are more likely to get sick.
He suggested that first, we should reduce the stimulation to the intestines, and avoid spicy stimulation and cold food in terms of diet; second, learn to regulate emotions, and people who are prone to nervousness and anxiety should adjust themselves and seek medical attention actively; third, we should maintain high-quality sleep, which can effectively alleviate irritable bowel syndrome.
eat this way to stabilize the irritable intestinal tract
3 According to the stool status, irritable bowel syndrome is divided into four types. The key points of each type are different in terms of diet:
diarrhea type
paste or watery stool 25%, hard or dry stool stool 25%
3 This type of patients have very sensitive intestines, so try to avoid eating the following foods:
1. raw and cold, such as vegetable salad , sushi, etc., to avoid irritating the intestines and aggravating diarrhea;
2. nuts, this type of food is rich in a large amount of dietary fiber and oil, and has a strong "slimming intestine" effect;
3. Spicy and stimulating foods will accelerate intestinal peristalsis, may aggravate diarrhea, and may also cause some abdominal distension and burning. In addition, diarrhea will make people weak, and very strong stimulation may also cause discomfort;
4. gas-producing foods, such as dairy products, soybeans, etc.;
5. Foods containing caffeine , such as milk tea, coffee, etc., may aggravate the symptoms of dehydration;
6. alcohol not only stimulates the gastric mucosa, but also affects the liver's metabolism. Alcoholism can also aggravate the symptoms of the digestive tract.
constipation type
hard or dry stool 25%, pasty or watery stool 25%
This type of patients should replenish water and ensure the intake of 1500 to 3000 ml of water every day, which will help soften stool and increase the frequency of defecation.
At the same time, it is necessary to appropriately increase dietary fiber intake, which helps stimulate intestinal peristalsis, such as whole grains, green leafy vegetables, fungal vegetables, nuts, etc.
mixed : pasty or watery stool, and 25% hard stool or dry stool. Amorphous : Fecal traits are abnormal, but do not meet any of the above-mentioned standards. These two types of patients should pay attention to diarrhea and constipation precautions, and adjust them in time according to the bowel movement. ▲
