A member asked:

Can stomach/abdominal pains be a sign of feces passing through the intestines?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: It's difficult to feel feces traveling through the intestines. You can hear it if you listen carefully, but the movement itself would not cause abdominal pain. However, people with IBS/chronic abdominal pain are intimately aware of the feelings of things traveling through their intestines.
