DS8 pooing after every meal

DS8 has pooed after every meal since Xmas Day. Complains of lower tummy ache then he goes and he's fine. Clear urine, no temp and not feeling ill (still playing happily). He feels full quickly and burps after eating.

I give him a daily probiotic.

I'm thinking he's not retaining any nutrients? On hold to docs atm but not sure if I should wait as it might calm down. Thought it might be the big meal/chocolate on Xmas Day.

Could his digestive system be changing at this age?

He used to go once a day at dinner time.

It won’t be the meal he just ate leaving, it’s the one before. He’s probably fine, just eating more than normal.

If he’s eating a lot then he will be pooing a lot.

low nutrient food passes through a lot quicker than healthy food.

has he been eating a lot of rubbish since Christmas Day?

One small choc bar Mon and Tues and a big piece of choc log on Xmas Day. He's eaten veg every day. Doesn't like solid fruit so has a smoothie every other day or so.

Prob just because we are all eating more this time of year but I'll keep an eye on him. He says he feels fine.
