Spasm after complete BM ( is this related to tight Pelvic floor)

Hey everyone, I am 35 F looking for some insight into a frustrating paradox. I have a very tight pelvic

On days when I’m slightly constipated or don't have a bowel movement (BM), my stomach is completely fine. I can eat literally anything without getting gas pain or sensitivity.

BUT, on days when I have a "perfect," fully complete evacuation, after a day of constipation, everything goes downhill. Almost immediately after a good BM, my middle abdomen (especially right around the navel) goes into extreme spasm. It feels like intense tightness and trapped gas pain that lingers the entire day.

Why does a good BM trigger a whole day of middle abdominal spasms, while constipation days let me eat freely? Is this a vagus nerve reflex, pelvic floor fatigue, or visceral hypersensitivity?
What has actually helped you calm these post-BM spasms down? Thanks!
