Stomach Gurgling

I have IBS, and for the past month or so my stomach has been really acting up a lot. I have constant gurgling and bubbling in my stomach.  It gets worse when i lay down, i can feel the bubbles or air in my stomach and it sounds like watery and air moving around in my stomach.  then if ive been laying down or sleeping for a while, when i first get up, the gurgling acts up.  The gurgling subsides a bit when i sit normally but i can never just lay down and relax when my stomach is acting up when i do lay down. Any suggestions?

I have had some of the same issues. This has been going on for four months for me. My stomach keeps gurgling. I've never experience this before them sometimes I feel like I have acid reflux and it goes into my esophagus. Also I had like white splotches on my tongue that goes away and sometimes comes back. Now it's just to continuous stomach gurgle that is driving me insane because I have no clue what's the issue. I've been to the hospital and they took an x-Ray, did blood work and urine test. Everything came back good they said my blood test was so so as I recalled it wasn't great but it wasn't bad I guess. This is an issue that's kinda stressing me out. I've googled everything that I could for symptoms and the results I found were like Candida, IBS, GI. I've had no pain just the gurgles and a whole lot of gas lately that I've not normally have.

The last few days I have had the gurgling sound in my stomach also. It has been alil better tonight. I am not for sure what it is but I had surgery on Thur so I was thinking it could be gas. Then I had a blockage in my colon and I finally got it to pass and about a day later the gurgling sound gave up. I had read some things about a blockage in your colon and it had mentioned symtoms such as gurgling in your stomach. Have you had a bowel movement lately? Maybe that is what is wrong...

I know it's bowel sounds, but having it that much - like it's overactive. It reminds me of when I was younger and had stomach bugs. Now that's the way it sounded.

Can I borrow your stethoscope? LOL!!!

I've had the constant gurgling and rumbling for over a month now too. It sounds more like the stomach is constantly digesting. Is this normal?

I don't think mine is gas.
