Am i alone or does everyone experience this?

You know those famous stomach / intestine sounds. Not just the hungry ones. Does everybody get all those sounds. DailY?? Like me , im a nervous wreck and it grosses me out to hear them , but does anybody else get them movement sounds in your sides of abdomen , lower abdomen.... and so on? is it normal to get that every single day at least twice?

Yep, I agree.  I normally have a fairly quiet stomach, but if I had been fasting a lot (due to anxiety) and then would eat, boy it would make some noise.  And because I don't normally experience that, it would of course freak me out.  

I hear other people's digestion, though.  Wish I didn't, haha, but I do.

Anyway, those noises you hear...nothing is going horribly wrong.  It's just fluids and food and **** moving around.

Yep, in fact I work in the medical field and my patients and families come in to a small room with me - everybody has them and we can all hear each other's bellies.  I just say - "whoo - excuse me I'm soo hungry"  even if I'm not:)

I get it too. It is normal. THat is just our body digesting everything. It will also make more "noises" when you are anxious. That is weird that you wrote this, I was just listening to my stomach!!
