A member asked:

I'm a very constipated person, is it normal to only pass gas when having a bowel movement?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you are lucky.: Unless you are planning to ruin the morning elevator commute, you are pretty lucky if that's the only time. You could be the person that toots every time they take a step. The more important thing is to work on that constipation in order to deter the long term effects such as diverticulosis and hemorrhoids.
