After meals the blood supply to GIT is increased to facilitate absorption. As a major fraction of cardiac output goes to the gut, blood flow to the brain reduces. Hence manifest as syncope

Nice your explanation..it’s the mechanism of vasovagal syncope.. Both the sympathetic & parasympathetic action occur here
