What Causes A Sneezing Fit During Bowel Movements?
Sometimes during bowel movements I will have a sneezing fit, similar to a hayfever attack. I notice that if the bowel movement is strong, it is more likely. It doesn t seem to matter whether my stool is hard or soft, though I notice it does tend to occur more often eating spicy foods. Any idea what is causing this reaction?
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history sneezing fit during bowel movements, similar to hay-fever attack, irrespective of consistency of the stool. does tend to occur more after spicy food. Hence this is sure for an allergy to something that you have to find out by keen observations. I would advise you the following: First of all find the factors that are causing you the problems. Secondly, there looks to be molds, mildew or fungi in your washroom as you are inhaling them only during the passing of bowel movement. Hence get the bathroom treated and washed thoroughly, your problem may be solved. Also identify the factors that are responsible like eatables and so on so that they are stopped to get an additional benefit.
