Brushing my teeth makes me poop.
Okay I know this is weird but every morning after I brush my teeth I have to use the bathroom to poop. And sometimes I don't have to/ time to use the bathroom, so my stomach starts to hurt really bad. And because of this I don't have the appetite to eat in the morning, which I want to start doing. So, what should I do?
P.S. Someone told me it could be the mint but I don't like the other fruity flavors.

Make sure you wake up early enough to have time to poop?
I doubt this is the teeth brushing that is making you need to poop. You just woke up is all. Your body has needs it has to deal with. Not pooping when you need too will make you uncomfortable.
So set your alarm for 15 mins earlier, or more if you need it, and make sure you are listening to your body and giving it what it needs.
If you are worried, talk to a doctor, but really you probably just need to go to the bathroom when your body tells you that you need too. Lots of people also find it uncomfortable to eat right after they wake up. The simplest solution to that is, again, to wake up earlier.

I have to say this is a problem I have not dealt with in the past. One suggestion would be to get up a bit earlier in the morning which in order to get a full nights rest would mean going to bed an equal amount of time earlier in the evening.
I don't think it is the toothpaste that is causing you to have the need to use the bathroom. I believe it is more anxiety to rush through your morning routine so you can get out the door and get on with your day. I have the same problem when I'm in a rush to get out the door. If I don't use the bathroom then I get the worst stomach cramps and have to stop and use a bathroom.
Anxiety which is a type of stress does strange things to our body's. One of the areas most affected by this type of stress is the bowel. The only way I know of to relive or to prevent this type of stress is to make sure you have sufficient time to do all the things you need to do before leaving home in the morning including using the bathroom. This is why I suggested getting up 15 to 30 minutes earlier.
An example of this is my wife since I am now retired. Her office allows them to start their work day between 6 and 8 in the morning. She chooses to get up at 4:30 and leaves the house at 5:45 for the 2 mile drive to work. This gives her time to do what she needs to do and relax, have her coffee, read the paper all without any stress before leaving for work. On the rare occasion she over sleeps she suffers just as you write because she gets stressed that she will not get to work by 6 and will to work past 2 in the afternoon.

Y0ur st0mach and intestines are sensitive t0 s0mething in it. Mint is f0r s00thing the st0mach as many herbalists kn0w, g00d f0r gas tr0ubles.
I kn0w Drs. T0ld me when kids were little t0 n0t leet them swall0w any t00thpaste as their y0ung systems might have pr0blems with the fl0uride and it c0uld make their st0machs hurt.
Even if n0t swall0wing it, en0ugh 0f it might be getting int0 y0ur st0mach t0 give y0u pr0blems. Even natural f00d st0re t00thpast as a rule has fl0uride. Thats why I n0w use 0nly backing s0da, n0t daily but c0uple times a week. Keep it in a glass jar with lid and add a dr0p 0f mint flav0ring t0 it.
