Constant rumbling in the stomach

You might be eating something that doesn't agree with you. It could be a reaction to bread, milk, or other gas-producing foods like grapes or cabbage.

This is most likely the intestines. To start, go see a gastroenterologist, get a colonoscopy, and have your intestines checked. Based on that, they will prescribe a diet for you. Most likely, you'll have to cut out baked goods (pastries, fresh bread), gas-producing foods (cabbage, legumes, some vegetables, carbonated drinks), sweets, alcohol, and white grains.
Take something like Espumisan; if you have constipation, try Duphalac, enzymes, or products that restore intestinal flora.
Have you been ill recently or taken antibiotics?

I've already changed my diet, but the rumbling still doesn't go away.

No, I haven't been sick. I haven't taken antibiotics. I'm afraid to go for an examination—I have a fear of doctors.

You should still see a doctor. Or at least get some tests done privately: blood, urine, stool. Check for yourself whether they're normal or not.
I have the same issue. I cut out bread and almost all gluten. The difference became noticeable.

Activated charcoal?

How do you eat? My stomach used to growl when I ate with long gaps in between. Now I eat frequently, and it doesn't growl.

I'm bursting from apples too, maybe you are as well.

That happens to me too, after overeating. The food just sits like a rock in my stomach. It can be really uncomfortable. The main thing is to have Passazhiks on hand, then I can consider myself saved from intestinal discomfort.

I'll have to give it a try. I hadn't heard of Passagix before. Recently I tried taking Espumisan. It does reduce the rumbling a bit, of course, but the heaviness in my stomach doesn't go away.

If only that were still an option - eating often.

Give it a try, it differs from Espumisan in that it helps not only with bloating but also with nausea, heartburn, and heaviness.

I get that from rye bread too. I completely understand you! I used to take activated charcoal, but you can't have it often, so now I've switched to Mebeverine. It quickly gets rid of the rumbling and bloating.

And if there's pain as well as bloating, will this medication help?? My stomach hurts terribly, cramping pains and gas that won't go anywhere. I have this problem several times a month, I've tried a lot, but nothing works.

Hello, I'm currently taking Météospasmyl, so I can say that it helps with pains and directly with flatulence. In principle, if you have both problems, you could buy two different medications, one for pains and one for bloating separately, and take them as needed, but it's much more convenient to buy Météospasmyl and not worry about it.

Want me to help?

Yes, there is. I'm enduring it.

Good afternoon, everyone! I want to share my tale of gastrointestinal martyrdom and a salvation I still can’t quite believe.

It all started about three years ago when I began exercising intensively and then decided to refine the results with a cutting phase. I was cutting for a month, then started feeling terribly unwell and stopped. As it happened, due to stress, I also dropped what little weight I had, and the scales ended up showing 44 kg at a height of 164 cm. It was quite sad, really. Although I felt like a slender doe, the look was utterly exhausted. And then it began... First, there were minor sounds—little squeaks, gurgles in the stomach-intestine area—gradually escalating into more serious, strong, and loud rumbling, as if something inside was popping, sloshing, sometimes squeaking, plus terrible flatulence. My quality of life was completely ruined. All this time, I diligently avoided places where silence prevailed because my sounds naturally made me the "star" of the space instantly. I was ready to jump out the window just to never again see witnesses to my shame!!! My personal life also had to be forgotten after a few nights accompanied by "romantic symphonies." My boyfriend never learned the real reason for the breakup... By the way, the symptoms mainly occurred in the evening before bed, at night when I woke up, I could hear them, and especially in the morning. Although after breakfast, it would also come in waves... not always during the day.

So began my wanderings among doctors. I was ready to give away my entire salary just to end this hell. I started at a regular diagnostic centre; the gastroenterologist prescribed an FGS, blood tests, and all sorts of nonsense like Bifiform, Mezim with meals, Espumisan, saying I needed to restore my flora. A very weak doctor, but I only realised that later. I was treated by him for two months with no changes, just slight relief, and briefly... After some time, a friend recommended a supposedly sensible woman at a fairly well-known hospital in St. Petersburg. Overjoyed, I rushed to her, described the situation, and showed her the existing tests.

Then she spent a solid hour trying to convince me that all these sounds were normal, that it's impossible to live without digestion noises, and she went on about which foods to eat and which to avoid... I was rolling my eyes internally, telling her that I used to eat whatever I wanted and everything was fine!! I wanted her to finally get it that these sounds were abnormal, related to a disorder, and needed treatment!!

It's unclear who in that office actually knew more about the topic—me or her! On the other hand, what can you expect from a theoretical academic, but I only realised that later. At the time, she prescribed me some tests and a treatment plan that included supplements and digestive tablets. The treatment was supposed to last three months. During the treatment, things got much better, and I was already feeling relieved. But once it ended, everything went back to square one. I lost faith in doctors and started reading all the forums myself, trying to find ways to help. Many people praised fennel tea, but it gave me tachycardia, and I suffered through sleepless nights. Then I came across advice to cleanse the intestines with Enterosgel. I remembered taking it once for mild food poisoning, and the sounds disappeared for a few days. So, I took it for a few days, and damn, it got even worse!!!!! Now the sounds transformed into obvious, wild rumbling, and the bloating became even more intense—utterly unbearable!!!

By then, my parents got involved in the story, and I had to tell them about my depressive state. My mum, through acquaintances who hold high positions in healthcare, found me a "luminary" in gastroenterology in St. Petersburg. I went to see her; her walls were covered with awards, accolades for treatises, contributions to medicine, blah blah blah. She reviewed my hefty folder with records of doctor visits, tests, ultrasounds, and other procedures. In the end, she prescribed even MORE tests, including (oh, the horror!!!!!!!)—a colonoscopy... Initially, over the phone, she said we might avoid it, but during the examination, it turned out there was no way around it. I had already read about the procedure, and saying I was upset would be an understatement.

Well, the tests that were prescribed were really sensible, I did them all, read even more reviews about colonoscopy, and my fear grew even greater... My intuition absolutely refused to go through that horror. I played a trick, went back to the doctor with all the test results, except, you know what.

I sat there silently, waiting for her to read everything and sternly ask, "And where's the colonoscopy?! What did you come here for?! Go and do it right now!" But nothing like that happened; apparently, she had already forgotten about her own prescription (strange, right?). She studied everything for a very long time, compared, and prescribed treatment. I came home, and my mom and I started looking into the medications because, no matter how good a doctor is, I always first study the reviews, composition, contraindications, and only then start taking them. After doing this, I realised that her prescriptions didn't sit right with me. One medication was actually for motion sickness and nausea (what's that got to do with me?!), another was for dissolving stones in the gallbladder and eliminating sand (why do I need that?!). I even specifically went for an ultrasound to check the current state of my gallbladder, and it's clean!!! Not even any sediment!! And both medications are quite toxic to the body and can cause harm through side effects. Only the supplement was acceptable, which I had taken before.

Once again, I was back at square one. I went to the previous doctor (the theorist-prepper) to consult on what he thought about the prescribed pills. She adjusted them slightly, but basically just copied them from another doctor's prescription. Time and money down the drain. The resolution!! By a happy coincidence, my father's friend arrived, a big shot in Moscow, and it turned out his whole family had also been struggling and suffering. He gave me the doctor's contact; she doesn't actually see patients in person anymore, only through her assistant. I wrote to her, she passed my story on to the doctor, and they prescribed me a NORMAL treatment!!!! After two weeks, I started seeing real results!!! After a month, SILENCE!!!!! Honestly, I still can't believe it!!!

I listen, I enjoy the silence, and I still feel as though familiar sounds will soon interrupt it again 😢 I pray for my doctor; he brought me back to social life (even though it's currently absent due to self-isolation)), but only those who endure these struggles will understand me.
Folks! I'm leaving the doctor's contact details, hoping I can make someone else as happy as I am!!
I'll answer all your questions! Wishing everyone good health!!
PS Sorry for the messy and lengthy story, just understand that finding the right doctor these days is very difficult :((( And always check what you're prescribed—you can't blindly trust!

Good afternoon, and what are these medications, what were you treated with?

I thought the conclusion would be - a psychotherapist)) who treats IBS

Alexandra, hello! Could you write about what and how you were treated? I'm also suffering from these rumblings and sounds (((

Wrote that she'd answer all questions, and is silent as a partisan)

Please write the doctor's coordinates for me too!

Please provide the doctor's coordinates. Or the medications that were prescribed to you.

Glad for you! What did you end up taking? Name the lifesaving medications

Please write the doctor's contact.

This user has described the same thing in several discussions as here, and that's it, their activity died out)) What contacts? For scammers to pay?

Please tell me what you were treated with, what medications

What's the point of this post if you didn't write what helped. You clearly don't have problems with your stomach, but with your head.

Hello! Please write the doctor's contacts. I have the same problem.

In my opinion, it was a scam.
This nonsense has been going on for a month now.
I want to have a sigmoidoscopy and an irrigoscopy.
And it wouldn't hurt to have an FGDS either,
because it's even bubbling up into my esophagus.
What kind of nonsense is this?

Good afternoon, could you please tell me what medications you were prescribed? I have the same problem, I'd be very grateful to you 🙏🙏🙏

I'm 41, and in recent years, I've started noticing rumbling in my stomach. I thought maybe it was normal after eating certain foods. I didn't even realise how much it had escalated. The rumbling became constant—before and after meals, in the morning, afternoon, evening, and especially before bed. My job involves interacting with people, and there are all sorts of situations, including quiet ones. It became very uncomfortable, and I started getting really nervous. I began reading a lot about it. I tried eliminating certain foods, but it didn't help. I only go to doctors when absolutely necessary because, in a small town, it's hard to get an appointment, and I don't have time to spend an entire day in a queue. I want to share my experience in case it helps someone. So, first, I decided to rule out dysbiosis. I started a course of Bifidumbacterin and took it for a month. It seemed like the rumbling decreased, but it might have just been my impression, as everything returned after I stopped. After the New Year, I started another course with Hilak Forte and Baksed, taking two capsules twice a day. And to my surprise, by the second day, my stomach went quiet. Of course, I also went on a diet—buckwheat and all that after the holidays—but that hadn't helped before. I'm still taking them; it's been almost a week, and I'm afraid to jinx it. I think I do have dysbiosis because I responded to the probiotics. I'll continue taking them for another two weeks. I'll need to buy more; I've already forgotten what it's like not to rumble all day. I'm writing this a bit early, so to speak, but I really want to help those with the same issue. Give it a try; it might help. Wishing you all good health.

Please write down the treatment plan you followed. Since your doctor isn't available. I'm from another country

Are you still dealing with this issue?

It's been grumbling for 6 months, and no medicines have helped at all; now I'm taking Florium capsules, and still nothing.

Good afternoon. I need your help. I'm in a similar state.. how can I get in touch with you?

What are you eating? I want that too.

Maxilak helped me.

Since when have grapes and cabbage become 'wrong' foods?

Hello. Can I message you on WhatsApp? I have the same problems.

My phone number is 89043051367, if you can, please text.

I'm crying out from the depths of my soul, I'm already preparing to die. I'm so scared, the doctors can't find the cause.

Hello,
Could you tell me how your issue was ultimately resolved?

How did you ultimately resolve the issue, please let me know?

I recently read on a forum that Duspatalin and Festal helped. I started taking them yesterday, and everything has become much quieter. I've been suffering since 2017, and my daughter has been too, at the same time. The medication needs to be taken for a month. At least today I slept peacefully through the night and woke up in the morning without any rumbling. I tried Trimebutine earlier; it helps, but as soon as I stopped taking it, everything came back.

Good afternoon! Could you please tell me what treatment he prescribed for you? And how can I find him?
