Stomach Noises

Hi, I'm a 17 year old high school student and my stomach makes these weird noises. Sometimes it feels like I have gas and other times the noises will appear and I won't feel a thing.  These noises have caused me to lose concentration during many tests and I do poorly on them. I have left school knowing I have a test just so I can take it by myself where no one can hear my stomach. I would like for my stomach to not control my every movement.  I don't know if this is a natural thing but it occurs normally right after i eat. I have heard of borborygmi but i don't want to call it something that I am not sure of. <>

Funny you should mention this, my stomach does that - When I am in a Meeting at work and Everyone can hear it!.  It is embarassing.  It was doing that one time when I was at my gastroenterologist office so I asked her why it did that. She simply said it means my GI system is doing its job.  Another doctor told me that I need to eat more and it would stop.  It even happens when I eat.  I don't think it is anything serious - just annoying....If you find out more, let me know.

I'm a 17 year old high school student too.  I've had the same thing you have and I attribute it to gas having trouble moving through the intestines.  For this you can try gas-x.  I was also having a lot of pain due to this problem though so I cut out all gas producing foods and the problem stopped.

I've tried gas-x, didn't work for me. So i don't know. But i'm going to take your advice and cut out as much gas producing foods as possible. Hopefully it will have an affect.
Thanks  =)

You might already know this, but gas producing foods include lactose, beans, onions, carbonation, spicy foods, fatty foods, and caffeine.
