Yes, after a meal distension of the stomach leads to reflex stimulation of the muscles of the intestine which can cause a bowl movement. This is called the gastrocolic reflex and is common in children; however, it can still come into action in adults.

Exercising regularly, drinking plenty of water, and eating a well-rounded diet are excellent ways to promote healthy bowel function. Many people think they need to have a bowel movement every day, but the reality is that people's bodies vary, and healthy adults range from three bowel movements per day to three per week. Your symptoms seem to fit the definition of constipation if you have less than three bowel movements per week, a subjective sensation of hard stools, a sensation of incomplete bowel evaluation, or straining during more than 25% of bowel movements. Long-term constipation can result in damage to your large intestine or hemorrhoids caused by blood-vessel breaks from straining to pass hard stools.

It depends on the food and the person. Some people have a bowel movement every day, some every other day, and some every few days. As long as it is at least 2 or 3 times a week and not painful, it is still considered "normal" and healthy. Different foods will also change the outcome. Foods high in fiber will pass through your system and result in bowel movements much faster. Also, some people might have intoletances to substances like dairy which also might result in more bowel movements.
