    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastroileal_reflex

    The gastroileal reflex is stimulated by the presence of food in the stomach and gastric peristalsis. Initiation of the reflex causes peristalsis in the ileum and the opening of the ileocecal valve (which allows the emptying of the ileal contents into the large intestine, or colon). [ 1 ]

[1] The enterogastric reflex is stimulated by duodenal distension. [2] It can also be stimulated by a pH of 3-4 in the duodenum and by a pH of 1.5 in the stomach.
