A bit of help

[Nancy211]

Hi,

I am in need of some help/advice. I am a 20 year old female and for the past 8 months or so my intestine has constantly been making noises. I know it's not typical tummy rumbling behaviour as I can feel it lower in my body than where the place where you can feel typical hunger tummy rumbling. It is highly highly embarrassing and I feel like it increases when I become aware of it when I am in a situation where it is not appropriate. I really feel like I need to do something about this. I do on occasion get diarrhoea again probably more so in the last 8 months than previously but this is not something that is constant. I don't have constipation but my tummy is quite bloated a lot of the time (either that or I have put on a lot weight in the last while!) I really need advice on whether anyone thinks that this could be IBS and what I could do to help stop the intestinal rumbling.

Thank you!

I just started having the same thing along with diarrhea, yellow mucousy stools plus gas and awful bloating! The growling is very loud as soon as i eat! It is emberrassing!!!!!!! I went to the Dr and she thought it was irritable bowel. If its not better i am going back to see about having a colonoscopy.
Take care!

Sounds like it may be.

Try watching your salt intake, fats, oils, spices,and dairy products, caffine, and sugars.

Also make sure you get enough fiber in your diet.

When we worry, this can create some of the rumbling, and inconsistancy in our bowels.

If you have any un adressed stressors....you may wish to speak with your doctor about all that is going on.

Best 2 you.
