Lately, I have been having trouble making a BM. I do pass BM's, but it doesn't seem like much and Im always having to use force. Also, I seem to have extreme gas. It usually smells pretty bad as well. Its almost like, I have extreme gas and I feel as though I have to go to the bathroom. However, when I try to its either mostly gas or nothing at all. I also get heartburn occasionally. The thing is, Im very athletic. I work out 3-4 days a week. Its really bothering to me, since Im only 22. If anyone can give me some insight it would be great.
