Hi my name is brian and I am 17 years old. I have been experiencing some problems this week. A lot of gas has been occuring in my stomach. I feel the need to go through a bowel movement, but once I sit on the toilet a lot of gas comes out and nothing occurs. I am also feeling constipated at times usually during the evening. No weight loss has occured though.. Should I be concerned?

Thank you.

Sounds like you are just constipated hun. Cause you say only gas came out. This would tell you this is constipation. Try over the counter stool softeners, or gentle non stimuant, laxatives. Don't be worryed, just keep in a eye on it. If you see blood then contact a doctor. But other than that. Its all normal, and we all go thorugh it. Your not alone.
