I have been experiencing constant gurgling of my abdomen for the last 6 months. It is extremely loud, enough for my entire class to hear over the teachers lecture. Most of the time the really loud noises originate from my stomach. Then other times I hear a bubbling and swishing sound in my intestinal area. I also noticed that I have been burping a lot lately...and I often hear a bubbling noise in my throat. I also experience extreme bloating, and gas daily. I have tried eating small snacks around the clock to help with these noises..but no difference. I am on probiotics and digestive enymes, which havent helped with the noises but I think they have helped relieve the bloating a bit. I have upped my fiber intake as well, although I have always eaten a well rounded diet. I cut out carbonated drinks, dairy(lactose) and candy...but still no relief. I havent changed my diet in any way to have this start suddenly like it did 6 months ago. I have not always been this way, it just started within the last six months and its not getting any better. Sometimes I feel a little pain from gas, but other than that no major pain..but there is a discomfort that I feel, like my stomach is not acting right. Please help advise me as to what else I can do or something that may help relieve this discomfort.
Please someone help me..this is very uncomfortable and embarassing and I would like to get back to normal.

It could be that your body is telling you that the food that you eat isn't right for your body. Often, we need to "tune in" and when we don't the body can start to yell at us , or gurgle in your case.

Are you willing to try to start to keep track of what you eat? Because what goes in must pass through, and I have a feeling that WHAT you're eating may be at the root of your problem.
