Does anyone else suddenly feel really nauseous and unwell leading up to a bowel movement?? For some reason I get so many symptoms - I get headaches, I feel really hot, I get nauseous, dizzy, flushed, I sweat a lot - but all of it calms down after pooping. What causes this? Is it normal??? Side note: I have bad health anxiety and emetophobia; so is this something to do with those? Or is it an IBS thing? I’m very confused by it, it doesn’t seem logical to me. Please help 😅

@AshleeC I get all three of those too. Sometimes when I’m about to eat I’ll suddenly need to go because I’m thinking about it too much

This happens to me too! It's gotten to the point where going multiple times in a day really really stresses me out and can sometimes make me feel sick the whole day because I'm so anxious about it
@Rhaena wow that sounds so much like me! If I go several times in a day I worry that I’ve got a stomach bug or something so my anxiety makes everything worse

I feel that way when I need to poop too. I think a little bad feeling is normal, but then our anxiety over being sick exacerbates the feelings. I also get sudden urgent needs to poop because of my ibs, so I think they go hand in hand.
@Ham that makes sense, thank you!

Hi! Yes I would get like this. My emetophobia takes over before a bowel movement, if my hungry (empty) or if i have trapped wind. Those are my 3 main reasons.
