I am 61 and postmenopausal. Sometimes I get a headache that preceeds, and seems to be relieved by, a bowel movement. I can`t tell if the headache is causing the BM or the BM is causing the headache. Have you heard of this? And do you know what I can do to prevent the headaches?
Answer:
No, I have not heard of this
Answer came from some university doctor.
Has anyone ever had this happen to them? And if so, have you figured it out? Is it the BM causing the headache or the headache causing the BM?
Toxins--could be but also a food allergy. Once the offending food leaves the body the headache goes away. Experiment with milk, soy, wheat, corn -- most common allergies.

You're 61 and have you ever had a colon check? If not why not?
What you're complaining about could be a symptom of colon cancer so get your butt to a doctor and get checked out instead of asking for medical advice on a public forum already!!!!

Get a colonoscopy. You are likely overdue for one anyway. It'll clear out your gut like no other method.
Gut bacteria are strange cohorts. Sometimes they are on your side, sometimes they want to make you sick. After the colonoscopy, do the yogurt, probiotics, and increased fiber routine. Periodically, make sure to use raw garlic and take oil of oregano to limit the growth of putrative bacteria.
Uh, I don't think I better comment on this one.
Anyway, I hope you find out which is causing which.
I don't think I should either because my first thought was, "Where do you have your head?"
