I've been having some issues for about a month now with not being able to completely pass my stools. Even when I try hard, it feels like my bowels aren't getting fully emptied, and I'm constantly feeling tired and sleepy. There's also this pain that's been persistent in my legs, right side of my stomach, and back area. I've noticed I'm coughing more often than usual too. Sometimes my lips feel a little burnt, and I keep getting this odd taste in my mouth. I often feel the urge to have a bowel movement, but when I get to the bathroom, the feeling just slows down. I can't seem to pass gas completely either, and it's like I can feel the gas moving around in my stomach. What could be causing all this?

I'm dealing with a bit of a stomach issue. I usually need to go to the bathroom 2 or 3 times a day, but if I can't go in the afternoon, I end up feeling gassy and my stomach feels hot by the evening. How can I make sure my stomach stays clear so I don't have these problems anymore?
