A member asked:

You have the urge to go to the bathroom but when you go...you pass only gas and the urge os gone....is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: When you have a lot of gas in your guts it causes pressure on your anus until it is gone the same way as feces do until you get them out. So, yes - this normal. If you have excessive gas, that's a different story, but this was not mentioned, so i would quit at this.
