Hello. For the past 5 or so months my stomach has been making noises, especially in classes at my school. (Totally embarrassing.) At first i thought it was just because i was hungry due to the fact it only happened near the end of the day. But for about 3 months now it's been an everyday thing and i cannot control it no matter what i do. The worst part is i've been having this horrible lower abdominal pains which kill, not to mention my stomach is constantly bloated/hard. The pain never goes away!! I also have started swollowig super loud and sometimes when i swallow i need to burp and i cant burp with my mouth open, it always has to to be shut. It's mainly in quiet this happens, i can deal with it when a place is loud but never when its quiet. I used to love reading in quiet in class, but now i cant do that without a struggle BTW i've also been to the doctors, he said it could be acid reflux but he's not sure.. he gave me some tablets which ive been taking for the past 2 weeks and see no improvement what so ever. I've also tried: Tums; didn't help at all. Gaviscon digestion tablets; nothing happened. Mints which are supposed to help. (They didn't do anything) and now the tablets which dont seem to help. I really don't know what to do.. It's like it's taking over my life and i can't do anything without this happening. Sorry if i'm being dramatic, i just really can't take it. I know there are people worse out there and i wish i could help them, but i can't.. Thank you for your time, i appreciate it. xx
