Question about karma
I’ve had bad gas the past couple of days. Could this be my karma ripening?

I think that is your food ripening.
If you can't find a toilet on time, that is kamma ripening.

You must have eaten some bad food or your digestive system is not working properly due to your past bad attitudes.

Read the Sīvaka Sutta.
Some feelings, Sīvaka, arise that are caused by bile. This is something that one can know for oneself, Sīvaka, and it is agreed upon as true in the world. Those recluses and priests, Sīvaka, who hold the view: ‘Whatever an individual experiences, whether pleasant, painful, or neutral, all of that is due to a former action,’ go beyond what one can know for oneself, and what is agreed upon as true in the world, therefore I declare that those recluses and priests are wrong.

Re: Question about karma
Harsh speech — when indulged in, developed, & pursued — is something that leads to hell, leads to rebirth as a common animal, leads to the realm of the hungry shades.
The slightest of all the results coming from harsh speech is that, when one becomes a human being, it leads to unappealing sounds.

All this confessing to this and that; it's looking a little silly. Perhaps you should find an IRL teacher to help you with all of these nuances.
