Possible answers: After eating a meal, particularly a meal high in carbohydrates, sugar, the pancreas can overproduce Insulin to keep up with the rising blood glucose levels. If secretes too much Insulin blood glucose levels go below normal range and drowsiness can occur. Gastrocolic reflex is increase in motility of the colon in response to stretch of stomach and digestion in proximal bowel. Healthier eating helps.
