Impacted bowel: This is the type of question that requires an in-person examination and you need a definite answer. Bowel impaction can be an emergency.

Moving bowels?: If you are passing gas and having BMs, then your doc visit can wait. Sounds like your diet could be improved by adding roughage and fiber foods to your diet, drinking more water, and (if needed) adding an agent to keep water in the bowel (miralax or colace). Stay on top of this problem to prevent reoccurrence. YOU can control this situation!
