Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query.
Although there can be various reasons for going to toilet immediately after food but you seem to be suffering from amoebic colitis which is infection of the intestines,since your symptoms are of short duration of past 2 weeks only.
You must do a course of anti amoebic medicines like metronidazole or tinidazole for 5 to 7 days.
Take some probiotic also along with anti amoebic medication.
You must consult your doctor and get a required prescription for it.
Simultaneously DEWORM also along with anti amoebic medicines.
I hope to have answered your query however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck.
Thanks
