A member asked:

Releasing a lot of gas but going to the toilet rarely. please help. symptoms ongoing for 2 weeks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Normal bowel function should occur every day. If not, consider increasing fresh fruits, vegetables, fiber in diet. May need to replenish friendly bacteria with use of probiotics or yogurt. Put self on schedule--have exercise, warm breakfast and then time in AM to have bowel function. If not successful, see MD.
