Q: nausea while pooping

So the other day when I got home from work I had a small dinner and was sitting on the computer.

Suddenly I had to poop. While I was doing so, I became very nauseated. I wasn't forcing myself, and it took the normal amount of pressure to get the stool out.

About five minutes after I was done, the nausea went away and I was fine. Thinking it was a mild form of food poisoning, I had some pepto bismol, then I let it go.

Well it happened again today, but the nausea was so bad that my gag reflex kicked in. Luckily I didn't vomit. Once again about five minutes after I was done, I felt fine (still do).

I'm thinking it might be a mild form of food poisoning, both times I had eaten a sandwich with some lunch meat that might be older than I thought...

Any ideas?
Thank you for your time!

Hmm, The best i can think of is when you are pooping. When you push it makes your stomach muscles tense, Whether your thinking about it or not.
So it's basically squeezing your stomach. So that might make you have this uncomforting nausea.
Just normal gas can make you nauseous.
But i can not be sure of your exact problem.
Just lending a few ideas.

Missy5 said exactly what happens to me! I have been searching everywhere to find what is wrong with me, and I don't think it is food poisoning. I just really want to know how to make it go away , or at least more mild!!!
