Specializes in Gastroenterology

Not normal.: It is obviously not normal to have dry heaves after a bowel movement. To sort out the answer will require an in-depth history, physical exam, and potential tests. I would recommend that you go to your medical doctor for this initial evaluation. Good luck.
