Hi lovingmom,
If you don't mind, I'm going to move this post to the 'Cluster Specific' board. Since your son is 21, he's really old enough for adult meds and treatment.
Has your son been diagnosed by a neuro? What meds is he on now? Is he chronic or episodic? There are many different types of treatment that he can try. If he isn't on a preventative, he needs to find a good doctor to work with him. Has he tried any type of abortive? 02 or a triptan drug?
We can help you, we just need a little more information.

Man..... if CHs were somehow related to my bowels, I would be chronic and have 400 CHs per day. No, in all seriousness I have NEVER heard of any connection of CHs to your bowels. That is certainly a new one.

also added in "Cluster Specific" board area
There is no identified link between cluster headaches and the bowels. It could exist for some people, but there is no indication it is widespread.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is associated with anxiety, panic, chills, shakes - and disrupted serotonin. If some one had both clusters and IBS, its possible that one could aggravate the other. The same is true for lactose and fructose intolerance. There is more serotonin in the gut than in the brain, and if the gut isn't working properly, it can affect everything in the body.
Bowel movements can result in changes in blood pressure, which can cause some types of headaches (not CH, as far as I know).
Increased intestinal permeability associated with some bowel diseases allows more protein (from foods and bacteria) to enter the blood, increasing immune reactions and inflammation. This might aggravate or trigger CH, although that has never been shown to be a factor.
