Why do i get so tired after a large bowel movement?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
BM: Typically a bm should not cause symptoms. However if some one has watery stools, one can lose electrolytes (potassium) and fluids which can cause tiredness.

Puzzling?: Are you spending a long time on the commode? Most people have a sense of 'relief' after a large bm - are you confusing this sensation with fatigue?
