hey everyone!

for years I've suffered with the same symptoms as mentioned in this topic, I even posted a few pages back about my problem. I always thought these tummy noises is something I have to live with for the rest of my life. I thought it was Gas or maybe the foods I was eating. My tummy noises was out of control, I could no longer sit in quiet rooms or attend meetings due to this problem.

A few months ago, I accidentally came across something called Irritable Bowel Syndrome & funnily most of the symptoms of IBS sounded like me. I had nothing to loose so I went ahead & tried some IBS medication. you dont need to see a DR, IBS medication is sold in health food shops.

Within 2 - 3 days, my tummy noises stopped all together. All I had to do was take a pill once a day & i'm good for the entire day. I've been doing this for the last 3 months now & all i have to say is that my life is finally back. I'm eating everything again, even spicy food!

I can assure you that 90% of you who posted in this topic have IBS & it is nothing else.

Good luck guys & post your results if you do try this.

I posted what has helped me more or less eliminate the problem on two previous posts.The first was on 2/8/08 and the second was on 2/10/08 under the name of les noisy.I suggest you try what I have outlined and give me some feedback.
It seems like some people on this site are too dense to understand or too lazy to try what WORKED FOR ME.They only want to go on babbling on about themselves
forever. GOOD LUCK.

ook well yea i remember last year during finals i got some subtle noises but i began to feel so red and i felt my face and my legs go hot and cold at the same time. it was horrible, and like 4 months ago i made these 3 really loud noises during class i almost died.. my friends have told me they have got it to,, but they dont have to the extent i go through every day. it sad because i remember when i could eat what i want when i want and nothing would happen. now i have this problem. ok well i dont think it has gotten any better, but i have gotten better at controllling it. what i do is every night after i take a shower i drink some hot chamomile tea. i try to eat healthy, but im only 16 so i cant really control everything.

i happen to know that they are brought on my flautenlence, and so i do everything i can to aviod that. one day i tried maalox and i did work i guess, but there is little i have actually tried. i have only heard good things about metamucil so i want to get it soon does anyone know how? i have had to miss school this year a total of about two days because they got bad. that is when i finally decided to do something about it

ok well also i know its good to chew all your food well and not to chew gum and dont eat after 7:30. i dont excercise and maybe thats why im getting theese noises. if so, i understand completely,, lazzy mee haha wel also when i get up in the morning i try to go to the bathroom and that helps in not having loud noises during the school day, because if you dont go to the bathroom soon enough thats when these noises come in. i try to do my own little exercise at night, usually some push ups and i dance around everywhe listening to music for a few minutes ). it is getting better,, but worrying and anxiety makes it worse. when i feel it comming on, i usually try to think of something boring and then i close my eyes and try to pretend to fall asleep during class, it works! and also im going to trry the one teaspoon of olive oil in the morning for now, and maybe during finals i will get some anxiety tablets or something to calm me down. yesterday i got it after school and it lasted for about 30 mintuees but i think it was something i had just ate. also today i kinda had a tiny but and seriously i started praying and they went away.

its weird ive only really had it at school, not a church or the movies like others say and i dont hope to start anytime soon. my school schedule doesnt really allow any real extra time for exercise, but this summer i will try to get into shape. i did also go into depression which could have caused it also, it sucks now i cant even be sad. i also gained a bit of weight since then (probably the depression and just sitting and eating all the time), maybe that is why i have it also.

I didn't think anyone had the same problem as I did. Mine started a year and a half ago after my boyfriend and I broke up and I was pretty upset and never ate. It started when I started eating again. I exercise EVERYDAY now and it's gotten better, but not completely. It's random and I miss a lot of class in college because of it. I'm actually graduating a year later b/c I failed a class and made some D's b/c of it and I used to be a straight A student, I have no idea how to deal with it. My mom says to suck it up and not to care what other peopel think, but ITS DIFFERENT, i understand exactly how all of you feel and it's depressing. I dont know what to do anymore.

Hey guys. I'm so glad everyone has been posting messages about their horrible experiences. Its nice to know that we're not the only ones suffering from this utter hell. I finally went to the doctor about my stomach/intestinal/bloating/gas problem, and he told me this.
There are two separate things that cause gas:
1: Swallowed air- from gum chewing, eating fast or eating while talking, lactose intolerance, and carbonated drinks (the bubbles cause rumbling and gas)
2: Bad flora, or intestinal bacteria- possible reasons include IBS, celiac disease, crohns disease, and other.

I encourage all of you to consider this as part of finding a solution for your problem, and I encourage you even more to consult your doctor about your problem. As you can see, you are not the only one with this problem and their are tons of others like you. You may never find an exact cure for what you have, but there are ways that you can treat it and make it better, and going to the doctor will help you narrow down what you have. Any time you've had a bad day regarding your intestinal problem, revisit this forum as a reminder that there are others like you. Best of luck to all.

i have wierd noises in my belly perminateley it can be a sign of Constipation so dont worry

Has anybody found a solution to this? I can't take it anymore...
Constant bubbling, popping,creaking noises from my stomach and sometimes from my bottom too. For me too the problem started when I was 25. I don't drink.

I don't know where to hide anymore? I am practically starving myself and I can't get any work done!

Has anybody found a solution? It would be nice if we grouped all the solutions into one post?

tummyrumbler ,

Please give us the name of the medication. I am desperate! Thank you VERY much for your post.

Hey guys,

Just curious? Do any of you have any other problems? Gum disease? I noticed most people including me are in the same age group 20 - 28.. Could it be something we're doing??

You should feel luck that you have a strong stomach, hehe. I'd suggest that you don't drink too many gaseous beverages, like CocoCola.

it is really reassuring to see that many people have the same problem that i do. my stomach noises started around 7th grade. i have no idea why. i get nervous easily and thats when the noises always start. im going into 11th grade this year and i have just been dealing with it at school. its very embarresing, especially when its really loud. my face even gets red sometimes. its hard to take tests because i always get nervous so my stomach starts making noises. sometimes i get lucky and it doesnt do anything. but its even more difficult when im sitting next to a cute guy or something. :/ i am going to talk to my doctor and probably try the medice for ibs. and im going to try to stop drinking soda. because i drink it all the time.

but thanks for the help everyone!

I have the same prob and colofac dnt help.
Has anyone stopped getting it??? Please share wat u did with us.

Thanks

I know exactly what yall are going through. I think it deals directly with stress. I am a psych major and your mind effects your body so much that obviously if you get nervous about your stomache making noises, it'll happen! My stomache started making the noised back in 9th grade and i used to skip classes where i was really uncomfortable. I found that if i knew the people i was around or i was really focusing intensely on the subject at hand, the noises go away. I think if it's that bad for some of you, you should get some anti-anxiety medications. As most of you have said, it gets worse when you worry about it! So let's try to stop worrying about it.
I'm not on the medication, but im sure if you're calmer about the situation, your body will respond by being calmer.

I agree with Karmalynn. I've had this problem a long time and have finally accepted that ANXIETY causes it. The more you think about your tummy or bowel making noises, the more it will do it! The mind is very interconnected with the body. My noises are reducing since i've realised this and I tell myself not to think about it and try and focus on something else. I've been prescribed an anti anxiety drug by the doctor which is really helping. If all of you can crack the anxiety then the problem will be cured. Its nothing to do with food, diet, or anything physical.....this is purely anxiety doing the work!!! How many of you get the noises in class, or at work, and then go home to a relaxed home surrounding where they suddenly stop?? I hope all of you can solve the problem....I'm on my way to a quiet stomach. Its not perfect, and the thought of being in a quiet room can still start the noises going, but the anxiety tablets are making this much less frequent.

Hey guys! I've had the same problem as you guys for the past 6 months or so...I felt I tried everything and nothing worked. I was always afraid of quiet places...and every day I had anxiety about going to school--just wondering when my stomach would growl.

This past month I tried something that was suggested to me by a close friend who is a health freak, and it has really worked so far!

Basically I've done a combination of two natural remedies.

I started out by putting one drop of oil of oregano (make sure its 100% and pure) in a capsule (or you can mix it with juice or milk, but its still too strong for me) and then swallowing the capsule with meals. I noticed after about two weeks the constant growling, bloating, and loud noises had decreased SIGNIFICANTLY. However, you must be aware that symptoms seemed to get worse for the first few days then got markedly better. So you might want to start taking the oil of oregano on a weekend (like friday) if you have to go to school on monday. Anyways, you can work your way up every few days from taking 1 drop to 2 drops to 3 drops etc.

The oil of oregano really helped, but for my symptoms to be eradicated completely I also started using FOOD grade hydrogen peroxide. Basically I started by putting one drop in a bottle of water then increased my dosage by one drop each day. I am now on 13 drops and I hardly ever have loud growling unless I'm hungry, but at least I'm not afraid to go to class anymore, or sit in meetings, or go places where it will be quiet.

Oil of oregano can be purchased at a local health store or online( I have the NOW Personal Care brand)

The 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide can be bought online. I got mine at guardianofeden.com.

Always remember to DILUTE the food grade hydrogen peroxide...(you start with one drop in a bottle of water)

If you are afraid to use hydrogen peroxide, then try the oil of oregano, it really worked for me.

If you try this, post again and let us know if it works for you too!

my stomach makes really bad noises and it is embarrasing in school could any1 help out there u really need to get rid of it

Hi all,

I have just started suffering with these symptoms - major stomach rumblings. Has woken me up tonight as worse than ever and found this forum which has put my mind at ease. I have always been very healthy but I lost my mother at 50 to complications from surgery brought on by many years of suffering gastric reflux - colitis I believe it is called. I am now 43 and have been, for the last 3 months suffering from indigestion more than normal - not accute but enough to be uncomfortable. The stomach rumbling just started yesterday and, in fact, has just woken me up - scared me half to death so glad I found this forum straight away. In meantime, yesterday a friend recommended Inner Health Plus which has all the good bacteria in it and is supposed to help with indigestion and tummy problems - though I have only started on it yesterday I have heard from others that it works really well so will keep you posted. Ask your chemist if you have something similar if not that - it has to be refridgerated due to the concentration of the cultures. So hopefully on to a winner! Cheers. M-T

I have the same problem, and this helped me a lot: Just try to drink a bit water whenever (might be every 5 mins) you think there is any discomfort in your stomach.2)Try to make a eating plan and follow the plan exactly for 2-3 months. 3) Don't let any thing makes you worry. I sometimes drank alcohol a bit when I wanted to go to my classes for 1 month (but I don't recommend this to anyone). Do these stuff and let me know if you feel any better!!

Try DGL licorice, available at health food stores in the US. It seems to coat the digestive linings and works fairly well for me....

I'm in college at it is the pits with all these stomach noises. Especially before exams and *don don don* finals. I leave class early, don't go to study groups in the library, can't be in my room when my roommate is there because it's too quiet. Don't visit friends unless we are outside or somewhere loud. It's so bad. I recently went to a friend to watch movies at her house, it was so embarrassing, it is really affecting my social life =(
