Is this normal or abnormal?

[ddaw899833]

This is my first time posting, I've been reading in this forum for about 3 months.I have a few questions..I haven't been to the doctor yet just because I don't go that often and something really has to be bothering me.  So I've reached a point now that I'm alittle concerned.  Nothing major I'm sure, I'm just puzzled.
I'm 37 WF, general good health, slightly overweight. I've never had any test performed on me.  For the past 3-4 months I have noticed and everyone in the same room has noticed my stomach makes loud noises, gurgling, almost like a dishwasher(my husband says).  I've read in the forum archives that bowel sounds are normal.  Theres nothing normal about this, haven't done it for the past 36 years, why now?  Also, when I go to the bathroom , the smell from a bowel movement is almost unbearable.  That started about 3-4 months ago.  The odor is alot different than the past so I think something might be going on.  In reading in the forum I'm aware of all the test that can be performed...But my question is what could be causing the symptons.  I do get somewhat nauseous after I eat, but eventually goes away.  Also, this morning the bm was pencil like, its done that before but goes back to normal, so I never have pursued it.  No mucus or blood that I'm aware of....Any ideas
The only test I have had done is blood test about a 1 1/2 years ago, my primary doctor ordered  some due to fatigue, checked thyroid, several other things.  all were normal....Question?  Could something change in that length of time?(meaning  disease??)

yeast makes a person sleepy,tired and bloated,and yearn for starchy food,sugar etc,but i have never heard of yeast making noises.

It could also be irritable bowel syndrome, especially with the gas and pencil thin stool.

Thanks Tessa

By the way YOSHI, I went to the website and took the yeast questionaire test, I made a 126 grand total score.  So it might  be yeast.  I have Doctor's appointment tomorrow, it may be nothing but i would think getting nauseous after i eat may have something to do with it.

ddaw, NO, you can post as many comments as you like on any of the topics at no charge...There is only a 15.00 charge when you ask your question that starts the topic...Tessa

No, I'm not on any medications that would cause the odor.  and my eating habits have not changed, and yes I have tried gas-x with no relief.  Its real strange.

Just for the record, do they charge 15.00 everytime you post a comment.  New to this forum, just wanted to check.

does yeast really make that kind of noise??
lots of gas make all kind of weird noises.
say if you are eating stuff which your body does not digest well,have you tried gas-x or extra strength gas x to neutralise gas in your body??
are you on medication which could cause that odor??
