If those symptoms occur after you take lactulose, side effects of lactulose should be ruled out. You can try a different laxative and see if you have the same symptoms or not. If you have not used Miralax, you can give it a try.

With nausea and "hot/cold flushes" after a bowel movement, best is to be referred to a GI physician for a complete workup.
