Hi, I suffer with pretty much the same thing exactly even the fear of quiet places. I even left uni because of the fear of my stomach rumbling which intern pretty much ruined my life. So all I can suggest is keep going with the diet but eat a healthy balance so cut out the surgery sweets and high in fat foods ( I also found that these make things worse) and maybe go on a trial of not eating lactose... So milk,butter, cheese, ice cream etc. but don't give up on school because you need it. I work in McDonalds now and it's bloody awful. But remember, your not alone and if it does grumble make a joke out of it, most of the time it helps.
Hope this helped,

Try switching to RAW milk. Pasturized milk can cause lactose intolerance; ultra-pasturized, homogenized milk is dead white liquid that does nothing for you because the heat strips it of all its nutrients and denatures the proteins. RAW milk is life-giving; in fact centuries ago doctors used raw milk to cure all kinds of ailments, including Lyme Disease. You will not get sick from the raw milk of a cow or goat that has not been given hormones, antibiotics, and has been treated humanely and been allowed to roam freely in grassy pastures where they can chew the cud all day. You do not want to drink the milk that comes from cows on feed lots and is sold in grocery stores. Raw milk can be found at a health food store or from a local farm. Best wishes.

Omg your symptoms are pretty much the same as me! Ik this is like 5 years later, but my mom was even looking up stuff on how to fix my stomach growls and so I thought id jump in and I found this. But anyways, I can not burp. Like at all. The last time I think I did an actual burp (which all of them are too quiet for anyone to hear..pointless) was maybe a month ago. It's crazy. Just sitting here typing this, my stomach has growled at least 3xs. I've gone to a go doctor for other things and I've had a scope and everything and they Nvr found anything wrong and pretty much left me with "we don't know what's wrong with you. Good luck!" Yea thanks for the help :/ so if any of you could give me any help, that would be awesome!! Thanks(:

Hi all,
Yes, many people suffer from this condition it seems, so remember 'You are NOT alone!!!'
But to those of you that are considering quitting school, uni, a job (or who already have; or those trying to avoid those jobs) DON'T!! You will always regret becoming a victim!! Live your life, don't give it up, just because you might make funny noises sometimes!! Do you 'really' care that much about what someone else thinks that you will waste your life in a pointless job to avoid you stomach problems?! That's dumb! Believe me. I thought that way for a while, but now I've gone back to uni and am retraining to get a better career...noises or not! Although, below you will find a few useful foods/tools/techniques that have helped me greatly, and may help you.
Firstly, yes I've had it too for around three years on and off. I noticed it first while working in London, and one Dr there prescribed Mebeverine (other generic names Colofac, etc.), which is usually used to treat IBS. Although I don't have many of the other symptoms of this type of condition diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, etc., I just get the loud rumbling noises...which are very embarrassing!
Mebeverine is a prescription drug in most countries, but is fairly cheap and it does work. It doesn't 'fix' the problem, but just makes it very quiet (almost inaudible). I still take it, although usually only when I know I will have to sit in a quiet room for a long time (like at uni); however a recent blood test discovered I 'may' actually have 'latent Celiac Disease' (intolerance to gluten). I still have to have an Endoscopy, where they put a tube down your throat and take a tissue sample from the stomach or duodenum lining. This test will prove it one way or another. If it is that, I just have to avoid gluten-related food and the condition will go away.
One other thing is that many Celiac Sufferers may also suffer from skin irritations (dermatitis/dandruff/eczema/psoriasis etc.), because the food isn't processed properly before passing out of the body. This means the skin doesn't get all required nutrients and overreacts to irritants (soaps etc). I have long had some of these other issues (although only minorly). They are all interrelated!
Another Dr said it may just be a 'wheat allergy', so eat less wheat (especially during the early part of the day). You may have this, so for those of you at school/uni etc, sandwiches might not be such a good idea, because of the wheat in bread. Try other alternatives to regular bread. One example of a diet for this may be cornflakes for breakfast (if you eat cereal), salad for lunch, and then if things are okay, you can still have pasta or other wheat-related things for dinner.
One other very simple explanation I've just discovered recently, in case it's not Celiac Disease, is a very common one than a LOT of people unknowingly suffer from is 'Candida', or yeast infection. Women mostly know it as Thrush, but everyone has some Candida in their intestines naturally, and can get yeast infections on the skin or in the intestines.
For a better explanation than I can give, go to the following website. (But be aware that this link leads to an 'adveritsement' so they want to sell you something! I'm not suggesting you buy it, but just take the information and do your own research. Or talk to your Dr about it.

Okay, here's a bit more that helps:
1/ Peppermint (tea, oil, leaves, etc).
2/ Yogurt (especially better quality, with live cultures in it, and also drinking yogurt is great!
3/ Probiotics (yogurt often has some of these). Get the good stuff from the fridge in a chemist of health food store. They're more expensive but better. One brand of this is Culturelle (which I haven't tried, but many swear by).
4/ Strangely...fatty foods seem okay mostly (even bacon and egg muffins). I have discovered there are two groups of people with this condition: those whose stomach is set off by fatty foods, and those set off by healthy foods (vegetables etc.). So experiment!
5/ Croissants seem okay (90% of the time). But just have them with butter, not other fillings, to be safe.
6/ Soft drinks/fizzy drinks/soda (because it makes you burp!). This works equally well for travel sickness, if you have it.
7/ Definitely 'exercise' for at least one hour twice a week. This greatly relieves stress, and strengthens your immune system!
8/ Meditation/Yoga/Tai Chi, etc. All of these are good for releasing stress.
9/ Locate the area of your stomach/bowel making the noise and forcefully hold your palm or fist against it, pressing in firmly for as long as you can (but don't make it too obvious! Lol. Maybe just relax your other hand over the first one, trying to look casual).
10/If all else fails, tighten your stomach muscles and squeeze them really hard, while leaning slightly forward! This usually quietens all but the most 'determined' growls! The added advantage is that you get strong abs!
11/ Last by not least, eat slowly, chew your food well, and try not to 'gulp' too much air when you eat.
I hope some of this 'novel' helps!
Cheers.

Same with me! I don't know what to do about. But at the same time, I don't want to be on pills for the rest of my life to get rid of it but I'm happy to try just about anything considering school is coming up soon and I rather not get embarrassed on my
first day because of my stumach noises

This is crazy!!! I have these gurgling noises coming from my stomach at random times. I just had a meal about 15 minutes ago and the gurgling is taking place and it annoying. Im not worried because I understand that worrying and stressing can create issues or make current ones worse but I do want to know what is going on. Unfortunately I do not have health insurance, otherwise I would just make an appointment. I actually haven't had a check up in almost 10 years now. BAD I KNOW! Anyway...I do notice some weird looking white stuff in my stool every other bowel movement or so. I kind of suspect tapeworms but I just can't believe that they are real. How can I self diagnose and if I do have tapeworms, how can I get rid of them and naturally if possible? Now as I type I am starting to feel like I need to go do #2. Oh and let me add that I work in a night club so I am consuming a lot of alcohol during the week. I kind of thought that if I do have parasites that alcohol would kill them. Hmmmm....I would like a professional's advice. PLEEEEEZ. BTW...I am 37. My diet is pretty decent though I could use more water. I am a dancer so I am pretty physical throughout the week.

I have the same problem in class. Its caused from anxiety when u think about it, it will happen

I've suffered intestinal problems for 22 years now. I dropped out of highschool,delayed college and suffer massive social anxiety because of it. Doctor's haven't been helpful and after awhile many people that know you will refer to you as a "hypochondriac" simply because they're ignorant. Three things I agree with since this post began are: get your teeth checked- remove ALL mercury filled teeth, take anti-parasitic medicine ( sometimes serveral different types over an extended period of time) and remove all foods that you're allergic to. If you are suffering similar symptoms you have a sensitive/compromised digestive tract which over an extended period of time can cause it to weaken and you may suffer many upon many different ailments and a compromised immune system. The sooner you help your intestines the sooner your intestines will help you. Good luck to us all and God bless!

Maybe for the average person, but for the rest of us (we know who we are) I seriously doubt this. I just ate 20 mintues ago, and now the growling and discomfort has started.
