Hi and thank you for asking on HCM.

You are reporting to have bowel movement like a trinagle shaped and you have gas, bloating too.
These finding most common are related with :

To avoid gas forming please follow below recommendations:
- avoid broccoli , beans and swallow air during meal
- avoid fatty, spicy and fast foods
