Such medical condition has different degrees. If gas keeps on passing continuously with out holding period. In this case, you perform Wudhu for every Salah and pray even if gas passes during prayer.
if gas stops for a while enough to pray the obligatory Salah, then perform Wudhu and Salah during that gap even if you leave recommended acts of Salah just to keep your obligatory Salah with Wudhu.

Backbiting . Stress . Employment

Is it considered backbiting if I share with my family a work-related situation that caused me distress, stress, or where I felt wronged, while solely focusing on the circumstances? How do we differentiate between backbiting and venting in such situations?

You should avoid mentioning any bad act or bad habit of a believer. Speaking generally about your work is allowed but never mention any bad thing done by a believer.
