A member asked:
When laid down i can feel parts of my intestines filled with stool and gas which is painful, is this normal? after defecation, the lumps and pains go.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain is not normal : Being able to feel stool pass through your digestive tract is not a problem. This should not be painful however and is therefore abnormal.
