Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has experienced this before:
I am a very healthy eater, but there are times when I am done eating that I will drink A LOT of water...like 16-32 ounces and my bodies reaction is to go to the bathroom, usually bowl movements that are very diarreah like. I don't why I do this to myself, it's a nice release I suppose, but I'm not sure what to consider it, as I naturally go to the bathroom a lot because i eat well and have a lot of fiber in my diet, but there are times when I know I am drinking a lot of water or coffee purely for the means of getting things out of my system. Has anyone felt like this before? I don't know what to consider it, if its an eating disorder or what, but I'd like to stop feeling like this. It came about somewhat suddenly too, I didn't do this to myself 6 months ago. Anyways, just let me know if anyone out there has heard of something like this. And what are the consequences of this? Thank you!

Hi there, and welcome!
It seems to me that the combination of high fiber and a lot of water could cause a loose stool, but I am not a health care professional.
