Gastroenterologist Questions Gas

Can not passing gas cause abdominal pain?

My son has issues passing gas, and when he doesn't, he has severe pain in his abdomen. Are these two things related?

Yes most likely.
They could be. The only way to know for sure is to have him not withhold the gas and then monitor whether or not he has abdominal pain.
