Stomach Growling?

Hi

I'm a 19yr old Asian male and frequently my stomach would growl loudly in class. It is not due to hunger because I would have just eaten before. The noises are quite loud and it is really embarrassing. Without eating anything, I would feel somewhat bloated and I still feel bloated even if I excrete my wastes. Sometimes, I would get diarrhea but not completely liquid. It's more solid than liquid. What should I do, doctor?

Hi,
Avoid dairy products in your diet.
Dont be in a hurry while taking food.
You may also consider taking prokinetics to relieve bloating.
