A member asked:

Is it possible to have discomfort in or around bellybutton with gas ? not strong pain just like stabbing feels better after i pee or pass gas

Yes possible: It is suggestive that it is related since the pain improves with passing gas. But this is not a specific sign for that, as inflammation of any cause could feel better with less pressure in the abdominal cavity.
