Im 13 and I get them between 1-2 periods and yes they are embarrassing
same boat as me me
BEANO TABLETS WORK. Hi, I started having this problem at my last job - like nine months ago when suddenly in an crowded but quiet office my stomach growled loudly and everybody started laughing and looking at me - it was most embarrassing thing I have experienced in my life, and I have went through many embarrassing situations in my life. So, what I have found out works best for me and almost completely eliminates this 'out-of-nowhere' rumblings/growling’s are 'beano' tablets. I take two at night (9pm), two in the morning after breakfast, and two in the afternoon after lunch. So far, no noises, but they make me go to bathroom more than usual :). All in all it is worth it and I always carry those tablets with me in my pocket in case when it gets too quiet in the office. Also, I don't eat anything with high sodium anymore as I have noticed foods with high sodium can cause me to have this rumblings out of nowhere, and it is the most embarrassing thing to experience so, I understand everybody's pain :(.
The answer: L-glutamine
I too had these growls a lot, then I tried L-glutamine that people around the internet said it helped against their IBS. It helped like 70% :p
I would definitely advice you to try it, cause this amino acid also known for healing the gut.
I'm 50 and in the last 6 years or so have I noticed gassy stomach noises immediately after eating fast food and some tv dinners. I never drink milk so that's not the problem, and I almost never eat bread or pasta. I do rely on yogurt -- the probiotics help right away and apparently, lactose is not present in yogurt due to the fermenting process. One thing I know for sure -- fast food makes my stomach go crazy. I also eat lots of "healthy" frozen dinners and some of those make my stomach loud. Vegetables and salads seem to be safe. I wonder what ingredient in fast food and processed food causes the noises? OH - i have learned NEVER to have carbonated drinks if I'm going to be in a meeting or quiet room with other people. And don't chew sugarless gum or candy in these instances. They will make your stomach growl as if you are hungry.
oops -- i hit thumbs down on my own post! bad eyesight
Hi, I'm having a problem. I started to have these growling feels around my colon. It doesn't hurt, but it can cause noise. When I tried to look it up on Google, i found the term "anus growling." I would be in class and my butt area would start to rumble. Sometimes when the class was quiet, you could hear it. It was very uncomfortable.
