Folks I have been plagued with these symptoms for about two years now and would appreciate any help in diagnose or suggestions.
My stomach is always noisy, whether I don't eat, or if I do (It's quieter when I first eat), then rapidly gets noisier later. When I drink any fluids it sounds like a thunder storm going on inside my stomach. The drinks can be ice water, water water, or coffee--- it all causes a war inside my stomach... explosions but mostly gurgling.
I always have a dull very slight ache around the whole stomach area. Sometimes if I lay flat and press on my stomach in different parts, it rumbles even more, and I pass very foul smelling gas from my back door. and some of the overall symptoms lessen a lot., especially the itchy skin, described later.
When the dull stomach ache is more prominent as well as the internal explosions, my skin over my whole body goes nuts and feels like tiny bugs are biting my skin. Many people have also told me, that I get flushed in the face a lot anymore, the flushing can happen out of the blue, if I am eating or not,,, not sure if the facial flushing is going hand in hand with the weird stomach conditions or not...?
Ive tried: peptmo bismol, rolaids, tums, gas x... they do nothing to quell the symptoms.
I havent been to a doc in years as I have no insurance...
