I don't think this is normal, but I was wondering what was wrong with me. I noticed that whenever I eat something, 20 - 30 minutes later I have to go to the bathroom. I don't throw it back up, but my stomach feels weird or it feels like some kind of stomachache. So it basically goes in one way and then out the other 20 minutes later.

What wrong? It can't be super fast metabolism can it?

This sounds like it could be IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)but you should really go see your doctor about this ASAP

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS, or spastic colon) is a diagnosis of exclusion. It is a functional bowel disorder characterized by chronic abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating, and alteration of bowel habits in the absence of any detectable organic cause. In some cases, the symptoms are relieved by bowel movements. Diarrhoea or constipation may predominate, or they may alternate.

Although there is no cure for IBS, there are treatments that attempt to relieve symptoms, including dietary adjustments, medication and psychological interventions. Patient education and a good doctor-patient relationship are also important.

I suggest you go see a doctor to get a proper diagnosis and see if anything can be done.

Hope this helps xx
