Tenesmus: That feeling is called tenesmus. Could be rarely from inflamed bowels, but most the time it's just from having diarrhea. If persisting seek medical help.

Gas: Try to have small frequent meals to avoid getting gas. You can take an over the counter medication such as gas x. If you are still having symptoms you may need to see your doctor or a gastroenterologist for further testing.
