Nervous system: It sound like your nervous system is reacting to the stress of the bad bowel motion. How often do you have bad bowel motions? If it is only a few times a year just try to work out what sets it off eg certain foods, alcohol, stress. If it is happening more often than that you probably should see a doctor for a check up
