Q: stomach noises
asked by: sss321 on May 26th, 2009

Hi everyone,

For about the past two years, I have had a minor stomach problem, which is especially bad while I am sitting in class. My stomach makes a lot of different noises, which are sometimes so silent that I can either only feel them or hear them, but usually they will be loud enough for the people around me to hear. Today, I was sitting in class and all of a sudden my stomach lets out a humongous noise that didn't even sound like it was just rumbling.. it sounded much, much worse. The whole class including the teacher heard. I have no idea where this condition comes from: I've been told possibly a food allergy, not enough water, too much of a food, not enough calcium, not enough excersise, stress and anxiety, you name it. I've also been told maybe IBS, and I googled it and EVERY SINGLE ONE of the symptoms were my symptoms, but the only problem is I had numerous tests done that are supposed to find any gastrointestinal disorders that you might have, and the test came out negative. I am now afraid to go to school or be in certain quiet places if I have no escape. Does anyone have any suggestions at all for this problem??

Since you have found IBS symptoms familiar to you during these period of 2 years, along with stomach noises, it is very possible that you have this condition.
IBS symptoms are more prominent during morning hours and when the one isn't relaxing (classes, there is always a dose of stress).
IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion, or in other words, when you doctor doesn't find anything positive on gastrointestinal examinations and she/he thinks you have IBS symptoms, that you'll be diagnosed as IBS sufferer.


Talk with your physician (drug therapy for IBS, consisting of antispasmodics and antidepressants, usually relieves intensive muscle contractions of gut in IBS sufferer)!
