Hello Everyone,
I understand how everyone feels. Stomach grumbling is definitely not an easy situation to deal with. I most definitely hate when people say “Just laugh about it!” because that is really not something easy to do. I do not like reading how people have let it affect their lives to the extent that they quit school or change their career path, when it is something they are interested in. My stomach grumbling problems began in the beginning of my senior year in high school (I remember it perfectly.) and even now already on my second year of college I still have this problem. It is very horrible because I am constantly in a quiet environment, and what is worse is that it has caused my anxiety to grow worse. For those of you who don’t know, this problem could cause anxiety and as a result, the anxiety will in turn start causing your grumbling. So a way to definitely help cure this problem is to go visit a psychologist. I went and during that semester I was with her, it really did help a lot. She will repeat to you all the things you all probably already know… Exercise every day, drink 8 cups of water a day, get 6 to 8 hours of sleep, and eat healthy (for people like us definitely avoid foods that cause gas). She will also help you manage your stress as this also leads to stomach grumbling. In addition to psychologist you should also visit your doctor although he will probably tell you the same thing, but you never know what additional information he could tell you. What is important is that you MUST follow all of these advice, not just one but ALL, in order for things to take in effect. It is difficult, yes, but it is extremely healthy and will definitely help your stomach grumbling situations.
For those of you who are religious… I am not too religious myself, but I definitely pray to myself whenever 24/7. My mom and sister have always prayed for me whenever I go to class as well and it definitely works wonders sometimes. I definitely feel a lot safer and better going into a class when I have faith someone is watching over me, whoever it may be.
And finally my last piece of advice is that you should always try to feel comfortable. For myself I have notice that my grumbling usually comes from the left side, so I try to sit in the left side of classes and as you feel more comfortable, you will slowly think less about your stomach. It is also important to have people that understand your situation, for example, in class surround yourself with your friends that will support you in your time of need and if anything make you feel comfortable even if your stomach grumbles (as if they were your family members, because I could honestly care less if my stomach grumbles next to my mother or sisters). You could also explain the situation to your teacher so that maybe you could take tests by yourself, and so that they understand that you may need to take frequent breaks in class.
Tips: Whenever you feel your stomach is about to grumble make sure to make some noise, such as a cough or shuffle papers around (sometimes some grumblings are inevitable, but they are soft enough so that this should cover it).
Tips: Always have snacks on you (try to avoid stomach grumbling because of hunger as much as possible). In addition, snacks tend to help people with anxiety calm down, but do not over do it!
Tips: Make sure to always use the restroom before you leave your home or whenever possible. You should even take some meds that help you clean out your system. You could also take meds that prevent gas like Gas-X or some that help you improve your colon health.
Tips: I always keep gum on me. I do not really know if this helps or how it helps, but I know sometimes it helps me calm down. Also, it seems to clear out your stomach as am always hungry after. So if you do this, it is really important to have snacks on you. (If gums isn’t allowed, try mints as a substitute.)
I hope this helps in some way. This is definitely not an easy situation to deal with especially if you have anxiety on top of it. Just think healthy and stay strong and we can all get through this! Sometimes it is important to think that it is just grumbling and that you should not let it affect your life. I know this is difficult to understand, trust me I hate it too, but if you repeat that to yourself over and over again, sometimes you will feel more calm and stronger!
