A member asked:
My bowels movement is ok but is it normal to feel bloated with gas but unable to pass gas? what do i do? just had a colon surgery 2 weeks ago.

Not unusual: Good news is that bowels are working! you had antibiotics and change on diet wrapped around the surgery and some reconditioning is likely. Mention to your colon surgeon however.
