A member asked:

Why do i get even more bloated and gassy after my bowel movement?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jonathan Sack answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Bowel mobility: Contractions after a bowel movement will occur moving bowel contents along after a movement . This may feel like bloating and new gas will be passed as it progresses down into the colon.
