Hi, I am a fourteen year old girl and I have had this problem ever since I can remember!
I'm in marching band , this will be my third year, and when you're on the field, it's fifteen degrees out and snowing and everyone is breathing heavy and that's the only sound there, it's very VERY embarrassing to hear a loud gurgle and have everyone look at you weird! I get picked on a lot for it, I also have gas a lot and have to go #2 quite often, again I'm a girl so it's embarrassing, especially at camp where everyone watches you walk into the port-a-potty. I plan on trying some of the things on here but does anyone have just a quick, simple, 'do this once or take this everyday', fix?

Does anyone have these symptoms after a stressful situation? Now recovered, but the gurgling (so loud) will not go away? It's been about six months Now.

I have this same problem. For me it started when I was around 16 and I am now in my twenties. It has been causing some serious problems for me. One thing that I did for a while was culturelle, I would take one before class and that worked real well for about 5 months (it didn’t stop the problem it just quited it down .) Then it started again. I also tried align, which helped a little. Right now I am currently trying the eat right for your type diet. It sugest what foods you should eat based on your blood type. This is my first day but I noticed by eating some of the things it suggested (im blood type O so that means more protein) and taking out some of the things it said were bad for me my stomach isn’t nearly as loud as it was. The noises are still there but not as crazy.  I have also made apt with my doctor and hopefully I can get a referral to talk to a specialist and make sure I don’t have any parasites.

I’ll keep posting if I have anymore info. AND good luck. I know what a problem this can be.

Hello,

I have been dealing with stomach gurgling issues for a while now. I'm 33 and I can say that it's gotten worse in the last couple of years. It was initially happening at night, and seemed to coincide with drinking coffee in the evening. I stopped this and was only minimally better - something was still affecting me. After many uncomfortable nights, I think that my issues might be related to lactic acid intolerance that I've developed over the years, which sucks because I love cheese/milk/yogurt/ice cream/etc. I've cut dairy from my diet for the last few days and have been worlds better. Last night I had a baked potato with cheese, butter and sour cream, along with some buttered bread and I had my first gurgling attack (although minor compared to what it had been) in days. I am going to stay away from dairy for a while and then eat a bunch of it to see what happens. But I think that this might be the source of my issue. Could be worth looking into. Try to avoid dairy and if you feel better, get yourself some Lactaid pills to see if they help. Good luck.

hey everyone! it is a bit comforting to hear that so many people are going through the same thing that i am. i'm a high school senior now, and my intestinal gurgling began a year ago. i was taking the SATs when, my stomach took me by surprise in a grand uproar. it sounds like farting noises, only that they aren't farts. my intestines churn and vibrate even at times. i'm anxious all of the time because of it, and when these noises due occur (which is mostly at school) i get so anxious: my heart starts beating uncontrollably and my mind is so full, i feel like fainting many times.

i have seen a doctor, and she is convinced that stress is causing the problem. although i think stress does worsen the problem significantly, i feel that there must be something physically wrong with my digestive tract. i've tried gas pills, and they have not worked. what has worked is tea. i drink tea about 15 times a day. i only drink tea nowadays, and this seems to have significantly improved the issue.

i sympathize with every single one of you. i wish you all the best. i know how emotionally hard this issue can be, as this issue did put me into a bit of a depression last year. i advise every single one of you to be happy. embrace the noises. some people may look at you weird, but understand, that they don't know what you are going through. don't beat yourself up over something you cannot control. and come on, what is the worst that can happen? most people are understanding anyways, and you deserve to live your life. anyone who may make fun of you, or give you a weird look over a simple issue isn't worth your worries. try laughing at yourself when it happens.

I have such bad anxiety because of my stomach issue. I have tried everything. It makes me want to abandon my studies, its so bad. I only have three more weeks left of undergrad and then Im done. I am so sick of being mortified by this issue. NOTHING works. Everyone tells me that its in my head or Im stressed or Im hungry or I should take a laxatives. Doctors dont understand, all they are concerned with is the fact that there isn't a great amount of pain. Id rather take the pain, atleast no one in my quiet classrooms can tell that Im in pain. Now that I think about it, I have always had really bad stomach cramps, because of gas. Now I have that coupled with the embarassing stomach gurgling and growling. I wish someone could give me an answer. I broke out into a cold sweat twice last week becasue I was fearful of my stomach noises getting worse in class. Its been over a week and I don't think that it has ever lasted this long. I thought that it would go away with my period but it hasn't (sometimes it does). The Prilosec that I am taking to reduce stomach acid isn't helping and I am beginning to get these bad pains in the lower abdomen, perhaps from attempting to empty my colon so much. I cry often about my anxiety and stomach issues. I wish that I was finished with school so that I wouldn't have to deal with the quietness of the rooms anymore. I hate my body. I dread the coming weeks because finals are coming. I suppose that I will attempt to finish the exams as fast as I can.

I feel for EVERYONE. I too have been suffering from the stomach gurglings for years. I remember sitting in my seventh grade history class and that was when I first heard my stomach making the weirdest and embarrassing noises. Now, I'm 30 years old and it's only gotten much worse. I remember in high school, it was devastating. I didn't go to alot of my classes because the embarassment caused me so much anxiety. I barely graduated high school. I let this take over my life so much that I have turned down so, so many great jobs because I cannot be in a quiet office or anywhere that is quiet. My husband and I decided that no matter what, I was going to return to school last year, and the noises have not let up, and it's my old middle school/high school days all over again. I don't have health insurance to figure out what's wrong with me but the one time that I was able to see a doctor, she told me to try and avoid gluten products and that it might be my lactose intolerance and to stay away from dairy foods. NONE OF THAT HELPED.

When I try to talk to people about it,(husband, instructors, friends) they all tell me the same thing which is to "just ignore it" and "no one cares if they hear it". At times, it can be depressing, especially when I haven't met anyone else who seems to know what it's like to have these noises completely ruin your life. Sadly, my 8 year old son is telling me that his tummy has started to make noises in class and that's why he is constantly getting up during class to walk around. If anyone has any explanation and can offer any type of help with getting rid of the noises, PLEASE LET ME KNOW...:-)

I haven't been suffering with this problem as long as some of you who posted here have, but I can definitely understand your anguish. I too would be INCREDIBLY embarrassed in class by my stomach making uncontrollable (and unstoppable) loud noises for no apparent reason. Most of the time I wasn't hungry at all. But because we've all been told to associate stomach rumblings with hunger, I would make sure I ate something just before class, and still, I'd have embarrassing gurlging (and sometimes GROWLING/GROANING sounds) from my stomach. I would try not eating anything before class and the same result. I was SO frustrated and really and truly considered dropping the class. Seems like such a stupid reason to do so, but it was that traumatizing and embarrassing.

AAAAAAAaaanyways... I believe there's about to be a happy ending to this story :-D. After searching my symptoms online (gassy, bloating, gurgling) I landed on many sites that referred to candida. Candida (aka "bad" bacteria) lives in everyone's stomach, mouth and genitals and usually lives happily alongside all the good bacteria. But sometimes because of our diets, we get an overgrowth of candida... it overtakes the good bacteria and this imbalance can give us a ZILLION different ailments and symptoms like the one I described. After reading up on it, I am convinced that Candida overgrowth is what has been going on in my system. Especially because I also have a yeast infection, which I thought was totally unrelated to my stomach problems, and apparently that's one of the top ailments caused by Candida overgrowth.

SO... I'm trying out an "Anti-Candida Diet" to try and balance the good vs bad bacteria in my system and get everything back under control. I MUST get rid of this indigestion, gurgling, gas, bloating, yeast infection, etc. And let me tell you... It's almost 11pm at night, today is only the FIRST day that I've been eating with this Anti-Candida Diet and I've ALREADY noticed WAY less upsetting symptoms and noise from my stomach!  The diet is very, very strict (especially hard for me because I don't eat meat), but apparently you won't have to eat this way forever. You just need to starve the Candida by not feeding it what it wants and needs to multiply, and when a significant number of them die off, you can slowly re-introduce those foods again.

The list of food dos and dont's on the Anti-Candida Diet is HUGE, but basically, you MUST eliminate all sugars (refined, raw, organic, maple syrups, honey, even FRUIT sugars. NO Sugar at all!), no flours or grains (except buckwheat, quinoa and a few others), no beans, no fruits, etc.  ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** web addresses not allowed***
I really hope at least some of few find some solace through this information. It hasn't even been 24 hours and I'm already feeling the benefits. I pray that this is truly the solution and that I'm on the road to having a healthy, happy, flat and quiet stomach :-D.

Good luck! You are not alone!

meesha is correct. It is most likely Candida. All the posters seem to be young so I will tell you that I suffered from this for many years, finally progressing to severe fatigue and pain. Some people mentioned lactose and gluten intolerance and they are also correct. However, it is Candida that causes food sensitivities. Search Candida symptoms, you may be suffering from multiple symptoms without realizing it. I went on the Candida diet and my symptoms were drastically improved. However, I have been eating breads and desserts lately and the symptoms are coming back.
Taking antibiotics will exacerbate the problem so unless you are severely ill I wouldn't recommend taking them. Your body is designed to fight the flu, strep throat etc.. and taking antibiotics only weakens your immune system and kills the good bacteria in your body.
I do not get flu shots either, but that is a personal choice.
So if you are suffering from borborygmi try avoiding medications, taking only supplements, including probiotics and Vit C and go on a no carb, no sugar, no sweetener diet. You must to this for at least 2 months. If you see improvement then you can look into Candida treatments such as grapefruit seed extract, coconut oil and Pau D'Arco.

Tight jeans and pants, or belts, might also be an obstruction that could cause an intestine to whistle. I didn't go through all the pages here, but be sure to realize that you could be causing some extra noise just by the clothes you wear. So if you're not allergic to milk and whatnot, and only hear the loud noises after you eat... it might be those tight-fitt'n jeans.

Hello,
I too have had this embarrassing and inconvenient problem, but I am glad that I am not the only one! I am 20 and have had this problem for almost a year now. It started about the middle of my very first semester of college. :| My stomach would make noises like a creaking ship or something like that, but they would be SO loud. I could not concentrate on my courses and my performance in my classes was much less than desired. I would fill out my exams as quickly as I could so that I could escape the tortuously silent classroom and I failed most of them. I would stress myself out over this because I was so embarrassed and that would make the situation much much worse. I would always make up some excuse after class to the people around me like "Man! I'm really hungry, my stomach was growling so much!" They would always say that they couldn't hear my stomach making these noises but really, how could they not?? I eventually started skipping a class here and there (I was never the type to skip classes before, so this was a big deal for me). I finally decided that I had had enough! I was starting to feel very self-conscious and emotional (mad, stressed, and sort of depressed in a manner of speaking) about my problem. I had never before had any digestive problems aside from the occasional constipation/diarrhea. I went to see the on campus Nurse Practitioner and she thought that I was embarrassed about having gas (this was not the case, I know that gas is normal and everyone has it!). She felt my stomach and said that she did not think that I was constipated and I agreed because I had not been having problems going to the bathroom, so she recommended that I take Maalox and Gas-X. I took 2 tablets everyday and the symptoms were barely effected. I finally went back home to my doctor where she took an X-ray (yes, this sounded odd to me too) and it showed that I was backed all the way up!! (Keep in mind that I had no issues going to the bathroom). She started me on Mira-lax at 2 capfuls 2x a day for a couple days then 1 capful 2x a day and slowly titrated off. I went back for another X-ray about a month later and I showed significant improvement. The noises were not as much anymore but they were still occurring so she told me to stay on Mira-lax and as i titrated off of it again to increase my fiber and water intake. My mom bought me chewy fiber supplements and 2 of them (the recommended dose) gave me the worst gas ever! It was even painful! I tried it again a couple days later but only chewed one, same thing. I could not take these supplements. I have tried Fiber One bars, they are so yummy but they unfortunately produce the same effect. I have increased my water intake a whole lot and that seems to help a little bit with the noises and constipation. I went to my chiropractor one day and my mom (you know how they are, embarrassing at times) just blurted out about my problem and he talked to me about it. He showed me how to press on my intestines and 'milk' them as he called it to help push out any extra/hard to get feces. He also told me to take a tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of vinegar every day. (I did not try this because it just sounds kind of gross, but I am getting to the point where I think I will try almost anything just to get back to my old self!) He said that it helps make everything run smoothly and helps get the sludge out of your intestines (the vinegar is for the sludge if I remember correctly). I just recently went to the bathroom and found blood on the toilet paper and yes I am sure that it was coming from my anus. It was not a lot, nor in my stool (but it raised my attention rather quickly so I jumped on google to hopefully find some sort of answers and that is when I stumbled across Candida). I am going to continue my research on Candida and see if this is what I have that is causing me so much trouble! Thank you to everyone who posted on this site, it has made me feel like I am not alone in this embarrassing situation and it has given me new leads to hopefully finding a cure! I wish everyone the best of luck in finding a cure as well and I am sorry for the long spiel!

I have this problem at the moment and have had it for a number of years now, I found that psyllium husk and high fibre stopped the noise but gave me a lot of gas, to the point that I coulnd't deal with it. I have had to stop taking these and now have the noises again, the doctor has prescribed movicol as a stool softener but that seems to make the noises worse. I have been diagnosed with IBS-C. I am going to try simethicone which should reduce the gas but I'm not too hopeful of this fixing the noises.  I have training at work next week and have spent the weekend dreading going into work because I'm going to be in a quiet room. I feel like I am running out of treatment options but I'm going to give the olive oil a go and see if that helps any. Good luck everyone with each of your individual battles with this. If anyone has any experience of things that they have tried and have had any success please share.
