There are normally factors that contribute to this, and if these factors are corrected then one could return to normal state and pass stool without any complications or disturbances.

Possible causes of nausea after bowel movement

Irritable Bowel Syndrome Disease: This is a condition that leads to discomfort through cramping and pain when passing feaces. The reasons for developing the above condition are not well understood, though sometimes it occurs after patients suffer from intestinal pathological issues. The nerves of the enteric nervous system are connected to the brain through nerves and send the signals that go back and forth affecting the bowel function and symptoms. People with this condition normally have nausea after bowel movement.

Ulcerative colitis disorder: Normally, excessive secretion of acid as a result of stress triggers the erosion of the mucous walls of the colon and rectum. This leads to inflammation of the colon as the body is trying to defend itself from the acid being produced. This leads to ulcerative colitis and makes it difficult and painful when passing stool thus making one feel nausea.

Diet being taken or consumed: Poor diet can be another reason for people to feel weak after bowel movement. Lack of fiber in your diet can trigger the act of feeling nausea after passing stool. Foods with low mg2+ levels, lactose intolerance, or ingesting foods and beverages that contain aspartame can contribute to the problem.

Vagus Nerve stimulation: Activation of Vagus nerve may occur during bowel movement leading to hypotension. This may lead to nausea during or after bowel movement. It is a nerve that plays a role in regulating heart rate and its alteration leads to impaired blood supply including the brain leading to nausea and weakness.

Celiac condition: It is an autoimmune disease of the jejunum and duodenum. It is an inherited disease. Most common symptoms include diarrhea, weight loss, or inability to gain weight and fatigue. Often symptoms are not directly related to the bowels, but to organ systems.

Diagnosis

A person can feel pain, fatigue, abdominal cramps, and dizziness. Pain and discomfort may occur in different anatomical parts of the lower abdomen. Pain is usually temporary and not severe. Pain is not severe and varies from time. Pain and nausea may reduce within minutes to hours after you pass stool depending on the condition that makes you feel nauseated. Most people who suffer from nausea after bowel movement describe the pain as colic. The severity of the pain can vary from mild to severe, both from person to person, and from time to time in the same person.

During diarrhea, people might also feel nauseated. It is therefore normally nice you take anti-diarrheal agents like loperamide so as to stop this symptom. During diarrhea, the body loses a lot of fluid that makes blood volume go down leading to hypotension that makes one have nausea when passing out feces.

Counseling is also good as it makes the person not feel so stressed and to some extent, it can reduce the disease. Causes like the ones of inflammation can greatly be reduced because low stress mean there is reduction in acid secretion thus reducing erosion of the gut mucosal membrane hence giving relief to the person.
