Overlying bowel gas is more or less exactly what it sounds like - a bubble of air in the intestines that is on top of another structure you want to image with the ultrasound. Unfortunately, air bounces ultrasound waves back and doesn't allow you to see what's behind it, so you may see "overlying bowel gas" in an ultrasound report indicating the technician was unable to see some of the abdominal viscera.
