Question 1

are there any correlations between fatigue and bowel movement?

Accepted Answer

Fatigue: Slow bowels with fatigue could suggest low thyroid function or effect of medications.

Question 2

i have extreme fatigue and a very unwell feeling after a bowel movement. had normal blood tests including celiac and blood sugar. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Its not clear why you have fatigue. I suspect you also had a normal thyroid test (underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism is an important cause of fatigue. Also, how long have you had the fatigue? Continue to follow your treatment plan and workup and to you get resolution. Hope that helps.

Question 3

recent bowel movement w/blood, mucus, now bowel movement followed immediately by severe fatigue and chills. ideas?

Accepted Answer

Get checked : If you're consistently having blood in   your stool then i will go to the emergency room. These can be all related.

Question 4

i noticed that i'm extremely fatigue after meals, unless i take digestive enzymes.
i also feel very weak after bowel movement, how can i avoid that?

Accepted Answer

Digestive enzymes: If you are on digestive enzymes who is giving these to you? You may wish to see a gastroenterologist to determine exactly what is going on. Lab tests may shed some light on this as well.

Question 5

how are fatigue and bowel movements correlated?

Accepted Answer

Colon Ca,,: If one gets fatgued, it could be from lack of nutritional intake and so there are less bowel movements with less excreted.  A big concern is if there is fatigue coupled with a change in bowel habits, movements, frequency, etc., which could mean colon cancer or some other cancer, like pancreatic cancer.  This would need immediate medical attention.

Question 6

what medical condition is associated with more than 10 bowel movements a day for five days in a row along with extreme fatigue?

Accepted Answer

Gastroenteritis: The most common reason is a viral gastroenteritis, or colitis. The diarrhea can cause the fatigue. Be sure you are drinking enough liquids to replace the fluids you are losing.

Question 7

in the past few days my bowel movements and frequency of going to the toilet has increased to like 3 times a day. 
fatigue and weakness i experienced .
what must i do?

Accepted Answer

Diarrhea: Diarrhea for less than 10 days is classified as acute.  if no fever or blood the diarrhea is considered mild and typically will respond to loperamide and pepto Bismol. Common sources are E. Coli, Campylobacter, Salmonella.  Often Pepto is enough to resolve the issue. The infection and likely some degree of electrolyte or volume depletion cause the fatigue. If not responding get checked.

Question 8

i have regular bowel movements every morning & often go 2-3 times. always feel a weird nausea and fatigue afterwards. lasts 1-3 hours. not on any meds?

Accepted Answer

Bowel: You may have irritable bowel syndrome but the fatigue following a BM makes me wonder if you also have low blood pressure. I suggest you see your internist or GYN to evaluate

Question 9

Accepted Answer

It will be nearly: impossible to evaluate you over the internet. Often it is beneficial to have a second set of eyes evaluate a patient. Make an appointment with an Internist in your community for a full history, examination and lab testing. If he/she is stumped then make an appointment at a university hospital near you. There are several.
