this is something that’s more noticeable in some folks, producing what’s called defecation rhinorrhea.
mechanism: the parasympathetic nervous system causes both bowel contractions and mucus secretion (to facilitate defecation) AND nasal/sinus blood vessel dilation and mucus secretion (which produces the sniffles).
It happens to alot of people. Sometimes they call it vasomotor rhinitis becsuee of the strong odors, sometimes they call it defecation rhinnoreah and sometimes something else I can’t remember right now. It’s normal.

Does it also happen when you eat certain foods?
Edit: the runny nose I mean, not the pooping
Sometimes.
When something needs to come out, everything wants to come out
When I was sick the other week, it was really bad. Told my wife about it and she said that sinuses get activated when you poop so that’s why.
no. see doctor.
No not really but my eyes water when I pee
I assumed it was because my bathroom had mold and I’m allergic to it so if I’m in there too long I get allergies. I don’t notice it any other place

Like Silvio Dante said "We have runny noses and smelly feet, it’s like we were made upside down"
Sometimes blowing your nose, helps with the push 😀
