A doctor has provided 1 answer

Constipation: Constipation is a common problem that can cause symptoms in some people in as little as 1 to 2 days of not passing a bowel movement. Excess and foul smelling gas can go along with constipation (bacteria in the colon produce gas in presence of fecal material). Constipation can also give one the sensation of needing to have a bm, but then not be able to pass any stool.
