A member asked:
I can pass gass and all but i poop very little, could i have a bowel obstruction? i have no pain, it just feels like a lot of poo is in my intestines.

If you are: passing flatus, I don't think you have an intestinal obstruction. More likely severe constipation or underlying intestinal motility problem. You can try otc laxatives or stool softeners or even suppository or enema, but if problem persists, see your doctor for precise diagnosis and proper treatment.
