Could be normal: It is not unusual to get constipated or "gassy" with long travel. Make sure to drink lots of water, eat fresh fruits and veggies and other high fiber foods, and use a gentle stool softener like docusate sodium for a short period if needed. If symptoms continue beyond a few days, see a doctor.
