Regarding the slowing moving intestinal tract (Edited)

I know this is going to sound funny but I have had discomfort in my abdomen for a couple days. I don't at the moment, but last night I was laying there and I could feel something moving along my intestinal tract. I won't get into what I think it is, because we all know what it might be. But I massaged my abdomen a bit and I felt better afterwards.

My question: Is it good to massage the abdomen since I am in a total fasting and detoxing state? I have never read about it in any fasting books I have had nor read it online.

Do you feel it is a good thing to do?

Thank you
