If pass stool it is : If you can pass stool that is okay. If not and you might be obstructed you can discuss this with your physician and see a gastroenterologist that might be able to clarify your intestinal problem more specifically

Life'sAGas,Sometimes: I'm sure your husband is very happy about that...But first, does it cause you pain or does your stomach get all bloated? If you feel OK don't sweat it. But if you have pain or cramps then you may need to change your diet so less gas is formed (crucifers? legumes? dairy?). Make sure you're not taking any medicines that slow down your gut. And- There are medicines that can stimulate the intestines.
