Frequent intestinal discomfort, gas, bowel urges, stomach an

I had posted more than a year ago to this forum, saying I had exact same issues. Since then I've tried almost everything related under the sun, eliminating the ones that don't work over time and settling on 1-2 things that worked.

Now, my problem seems to be cured for the most part. I have a theory of what happened to most of us (going over the thread I don't think everyone necessarily has the same issue):

- There are friendly bacteria in the gut (intestines) that help our digestion. Together with some other bacteria they form the intestinal flora (this is an oversimplification).

- Typically the bacteria that are good for us outnumber the bad ones and there is a delicate balance there.

- We absolutely need these bacteria for digestion, human body cannot digest everything on its own.

- Something strong (like antibiotics, serious illness/diarrhea) or random (like moving to a warmer/colder climate, or damage to other part of body) can change this delicate balance and result in some of the beneficial bacteria to die.

- Without these bacteria the digestion becomes problematic and cause symptoms mentioned in this thread.

So a logical attempt to recover from this problem is to add more helpful bacteria to the column. There are multiple methods for this but the simplest is to eat/drink foods with probiotic properties. There also are probiotic pills but they are expensive and their efficiency is not really well understood according to my research.

Probiotic foods are typically the fermented ones, such as:

- Milk Kefir

- Water Kefir

- Yogurt

- Pickles

What gave me relief was drinking 1-2 glasses of home made milk kefir a day for a few weeks - I still do because I feel the benefits. Some sites claim that there is 1 trillion beneficial bacteria in one glass of milk kefir (vs 50 billion in the most expensive proiotic pills). Google how to make kefir at home and try it for 1 week. If that is your problem you'll see some of your symptoms decline in a few days - it definitely did in my case.

I hope this is of help to you and best of luck in curing your problem.

FYI, I also tried a bunch of other things but I stopped them as I didn't feel they were effective: Magnesium, Vitamin K2, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Zinc

Omg me too lol. It's like ur back is farting. I hate that the fart is like 2 inches from ur butt. But it's nothing u r holding in or letting out its just ur back butt farting lol so weird. It's super embarrassing it's never happened to me at work but it's happened to me and I had a hard time explaining I didn't fart it was the inside of my back but. No odor just sound and not muffled sound either. It sounded like it escaped. The worst

I have the same problem. Farting sounds coming from my lower bowel, vibrations, bubbling feeling and sounds. I noticed it about 3 months ago.

I am 32 years old, and at the age of 24, I had h-pylori infection (had an endoscopy and colonsophy), then again when I was 28, I had h-pylori infection again (had an endoscopy and colonosphy), now I had h-pylori like symptoms last year and I suffered for months with it. Finally I went to the Emergency Room last September, I explained to the doctor I have had h-pylori before and I know I just needed the anti-biotic. Well, he only gave me one of the two antibiotics that I needed. It got better, but didn't go away.

Now, I have insurance (Thanks to Obamacare), and I went to my gastroenterologist, TODAY I had an endoscopy and colon done and he found a poloup, but everything else looked normal. He sent the poloup out for examination. I have probiotics in my fridge that I began taking today, they are 50 Billion pills. I will take 2 a day for 5 days and then switch to one a day.

This is so frustrating when you are sick and there is no help!

I am in New Jersey by the way

I get similar to these.... I'm constantly getting pains in my stomach after eating. again I've been sent for scans but haven't had any found abnormalities. Sometimes I get pain which indicates I have to have to have a bowl movement and when I have it usually eases.... i have regular bowel movements most says and can empty 3 times in just one morning.. i also get constipated a lot too. when I get the urge to empty my bowel I have to make sure im.near a toilet and the urge is all off a sudden to. Again it's so annoying that the fact it's there just not the knowing what the underlying problem is. I was sick a few months back after eating food and this happened for a whole month. ! Doctors did sereval pregnancy test and all 7 cane bk negative.. help would be great please because I seriously haven't got a clue what's wrong. My bf would lay on my tummy and say it was making weird noises. But I can't hear them so much. Sometimes I can but.other times I can't.

I've had this problem for the past three years now, I'm 19 so it started when I was around 16 and got worse with time. I know I shouldn't let this ruin my life but I've really had enough of this. I'm not saying I'm going  to end my life of course but I've just had enough of having to go to the bathroom twice before my classes (I'm in college) and not being able to enjoy having conversatins with people in quite spaces. This really affected my self confidence, I don't even try to look for a girlfriend, how would I spend intimate time with her with my stomach making all those noises. I can't imagine spending my whole life with this. At this point I'm not even asking for all the symptms to go away (discomfort, nausea,..) but just for the rumbles.

I know it sounds so dumb to let such a small thing ruin one's life, and I may have exagerated my situation, I mean I still have friends and everything, but I just feel horrified by the idea of living with that condition all my life. I went to the doctor and he says I might be lactose intolerant and the rumbles do get better when I don't consume dairy products but are still there. He made me take a colonoscopy during which the doctors didn't find anything but a high TSH level meaning I might  have hypothyroidism which I don't really know what I'm supposed to do about , my doctor hasnt' been really helpful. 

I'll try the different recomendations I found on this site and will be posting if anything helps. I already know drinking water improves the situation.

Sorry for the long post but it feels nice to open up about this to people who can actually relate. Other people don't really understand how this can be a real problem.

Oh my f*****g god. These are symptoms of ulcer colitis. I took a z pac (antibiotics that come in a little 5 pill box) it ruined the good bacteria in my intestines so after constant days of liquid sh*t, horrible stomach cramps and the feeling of needles tearing through my f*****g as****e I went the doctor and he prescribed probiotics, which are millions of good bacteria and my poop went solid, but I still have all the other BS. Now I smoke medical marijuana and I don't feel the pain ever and I function perfectly fine (not that BS about potheads) other than sometimes when I get new ulcers, then the process starts all over.

You should try cultrelle it helped me and eat activia yogurt in the am it twice a day

I can totally relate, I felt like I was the only one going through this. My problem started when I was 14 but never knew what it was. However, now that I'm 19 it has become worse. I've noticed that after I eat the noise starts and then get a stomach ache which leads to bowel movement.I feel like it has affected me negatively, and I think anxiety has something to do with it too. I've also noticed that this mainly occurs when I'm around people in a quite area.I've tried relaxation techniques, but they don't seem to work. I cut out chewing gum,drinking soda ect. I'm going to try a product and update on its effectiveness.

You should get a colonoscopy done asap thatll show you all the bacteria its probably hardened stool, you need mirelax possibly talk about it with your doctor

Everything you have said, I get the exact same thing but instead of passing several times, I'm on the toilet between 20-40 minutes. At the moment I have this horrible/ painful popping feeling in my lower area & a shooting pain when I'm walking. & I'm the same as you, since August (when I was diagnosed after several procedures) I've gone from 9 half stone to 7 stone 9. I've never been a junk eater & I'm generally healthy attending the gym several times & always eating healthily but now it's got to the point where I've stopped eating breakfast & tea through the week & just eating properly at weekends without the worry of being in work. I've cut out so many foods, milk/ dairy, caffeine, some vegetables, fruit, bread, beans etc. I just don't know where to go from here as the doctors say it's a matter of trialing different foods?

Contact me for this problem

do you have a solution?

I had the same problem I'm 18 and still in college. Embarrassing isn't even the word. I too have been to the doctors countless times of which were useless. However, after reading many blogs I think I have a gluten allergy and am going for a blood test soon. It's basically in everything and hard to manager but i feel better. I still feel like I have a weak stomach but it will take time to go back to normal. Look at your diet and see what you react to most, mine was carbohydrates. Eg. Bread pasta etc

THE ANSWER!

In 6 months I have had stomach growling and of course that annoying anus growling that makes people think it's a fart. I started to search for an answer, and though that I had IBS or leaky gut. Then I found this - He basically says that his IBS-D has been cured. I though I should give it a try. I took 3 grams in the morning (1 teaspoon) and 3 grams in the evening with cold water, and after a couple of days, the growling started to stop, permanantly since it's a building block for proteins and it builds, not stimulates like most of the drugs people buys.

Hope it helps your case.
