i feel gas moving around but I can't pass it. I've tried walking a ton and laying on my side with no luck.
Today is the 4th day I haven't passed gas (I still have bms). Is this a serious issue? And do you have any tips?
Edit: I've had a j pouch for about a month

I think it's only as serious as any discomfort it causes. Lots of people have posted tips here. I suggest the search function will help you find the complete works.
Anyone who smokes marijuana regularly will tell you that it relaxes them. If you have a gas build up relaxing seems to assist in being able to pass that gas. Another aid for some is a probiotic( the ones that have both the vegetable and dairy bacteria which seem to generate more gas. This also seems to assist in exiting same. I have posted my story in the medical marijuana forum. It does seem to have helped many pouch people. Most of you are lucky to be able to obtain it lawfully so being a natural medicine I would urge you all to give it a go.
