Stomach Gurgling/Lower abdominal discomfort

I know exactly how it feels to have a stomach like this. I too have experienced embarrassment, walked out of classes, meetings, even skipped them ... thanks to this problem.
But I have found a few steps that might help. Actually this is weird, and happens at mental level more than at the physical one. But it's expressed through stomach only, hence the steps below are to subside physical expression only.
1. Water therapy: The idea is cleaner the colon, more comfortable, confident you become. Drink 1260 ml of water as soon as you get up in the morning (preferrably before 6:30 AM) This helps clean the colon really well. Just make sure to drink that water at room temperature, slowly and continuously, so that it goes right to the bottom. Don't worry about excessive urination later. It will wane in a few days.
2. Stretch soon after you drink this water. Bend backwards and sideways for about 50 times. That will make water bang on the inner walls and flush the s**m out.
3. Do some yoga poses some 1 hour after drinking water. Something like Uddiyaan Bandha pose (which means exhale completely and pull the stomach inwards so that your back and stomach almost meet. Hold in that position for about 10 secs. DO NOT exceed a minute in any case)
These will make you (your stomach) give yourself an assuring signal "I'm ready to see off today's quiet situation"
Good luck. How to actually root out the problem is still a mystery. But I think reiki would help. More on this, later.

I have had lower left pain in the abdominal area. My stomach also gurgles. I noticed mostly after meals. I went to my doctor and he sent me to a GI doctor. The GI doctor didn't run any tests on me and he gave me a prescription for an antibiotic for bacteria problems. The medicine didn't work so I called back to talk to his nurse like he told me too. They told me that if the medicine didn't work then he didn't know what it was and that it wasn't GI related. I told my friend what the doctor said and she told me to take an enemia because I might be back up so I did. It gurgles really loud and I still have some pain on my left side. Everything is on my left side and I am not understanding what it is. Nobody has any answers for me. What should I do? Someone help me! Please! I am in so much pain I need answers. :?

Hey heather i have actually been dealing with almost the same exact complication as you described your brother going through. I've had a GI run diagnostics on stool samples and nothing has showed, they have chalked it up to IBS as well!! I just can't imagine living with this kind of discomfort for the rest of my life. I am very healthy by the way! If you have any remedies or could suggest anything i could relay to my doctor iw ould appreciate it!! Thank you!

Hey everone, have any of you tried changing your diet? You all may be allergic to Gluten. My friend was sick with this for two years and they did tons of tests on her for everything from allergies to you name it. When she eats gluten her stomach get upset and bubbles and she gets gassy and sick and very tired. I would talk to your doctors about getting tested

If you guys really want to try something that works, then heed the Probiotic message.. eat healthy yogurt (with probiotics) or buy them like someone already posted above.. there's always a natural cure.. 

im the same way!! did you ever find out what it was??????

Im feeling the same way. My stomach just gurgles and gurgles...and I have been feeling a little gas too. I can't do much but drink alot of water and rest alot by sitting up. Im just waiting for it to go away(:

very very interesting

Hey I have the same thing gastro dosen't even know. but I had fever and pain. but same systoms. Really hurt.

Im a 25 year old male. Nearly 2 weeks ago i started experiencing very loose bathroom movements, i also have i pain in my right side, just right of my belly button. Its been really freaking me out, i keep thinking i have a tumer or something terrible. I went my local Doc and she said she thought it was something viral and it would just go away in time. I went back to  her again cos it wasn't getting better, she sent me to the hospital for an examination. At the hospital they did an X ray, and ultra sound, and took a pee and stool sample, as well as examining my abdomen. 2 Docs in the hospital came up with the same answer as the Doc in the local Doctors did, that is was something viral and would go away its self. Anytime i have milk or cheese these days i have bad bathroom incidents, so i think I've got some lactose intolerance going on. Also I'm starting to think gluten has something to do with it too. The pain in my right side is annoying, it doesn't stop me sleeping, its fine when I'm relaxing, but when I'm up doing stuff it gets worse. Dunno what i should do, should i go back to the Docs. Im afraid to eat anything now. I think the pain gets worse after i eat stuff. Freaked out!

You should check if you have any food allergies. Celiac disease could be the cause or another food allergy. I used to have similar symptoms and was diagnosed with Celiac I also have gastritis and gerd. Good luck to you and I hope you find put what the problem is

Maybe check into celiacs disease. It has to do with your diet. Good luck

We just moved to Qatar recently and staying in a hotel till we get our own flat. couple of weeks ago, my husband started complaining form lower abdomen discomfort and his stomach was making lots of noises which still does with some cramps on the left side of his belly. He also had nausea and minor fever as well as diarrhea which lasted over 3 days. At first we thought of food poisoning or stomach flue yet he refused to go to doctor and tried to get over it with resting which helped a bit. He went back to work and was doing ok but was watchful of what he was eating. I got him yogurt, apple pudding and stayed away from fruits and fresh veggies for a few days. Strange thing is I ate what he eats but I didn't get sick. One thing with him is he doesn't follow a diet and the minute he feels better he goes back to the same eating habits which is coffee in the morning and on empty stomach, red meet when ever available over fish or chicken and at work he seats for long hours at his desk working with computer.

What I do differently than him is I don't drink coffee, take small portions of meat and big portions of salad, fruits.... I walk more and move around more and take vitamins. I also took a full box of Culturelle which is a pro biotic to cancel off the medications I took due to my recent surgery. I have to say I hardly get discomfort lately.

When he refused to see the doctor, I made him Golden Yarrow herbal tea with honey, brewed cumin seed but no food for the first day (he didn't have appetite) then the next day he started eating some yogurt and fruit pudding but nothing more and the third day stayed on soup. He was so relieved after that he broke the strict diet and had regular food and was doing ok till again he had steak in a restaurant.

 

what I summon from all of this is:

1-Lack of exercise and seating is making his guts weak.

2- Eating outside almost all the time caused some bacteria to enter into his system and make him sick.

3- Dehydration might have been a helping factor since it is a new environment with outdoor heat and  circulated air inside which causes more dehydration.

4- Eating red meat.( stays longer in intestine and gives a good bed for bad bacteria to grow)

5- Coffee (irritates the already weak and sensitive intestine walls)

6- Not eating enough fiber

7- One other thing is he drinks soft diet sodas!

So this weekend again, he is  feeling ill and I started my remedies but I think he really has to take a strict diet and that he is started today.

I'll keep you all posted

did you ever figure it out?

I got cure finally after many years of suffering Al-Hamdellah, it was embarrassing that i can't got to business meeting or any family meetings high sound and continuous, i tried many thinks and visited famous doctor and nothing worked with me while some work temporarely,

finally one of my friend advised me to take (Ispaghol Husk) and i tried it, thanking Allah for that, it completely stopped, i did some search about that, it Ispaghol husk is 100% fiber so you put one or two full table spoon on half cup of water and drink it, it absorb the water and become like a jelly inside the stomach and colon and you will feel very satisfied you will not think about it any more.

as much i suffered from this, i decided to inform every body on internet about that to be happy again like me :)
