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 related to the intestines. First, go see a gastroenterologist and get a colonoscopy to check your intestines. Based on the results, 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 refined grains.
Take something like Espumisan; if you have constipation, try Duphalac, enzymes, or probiotics to restore your gut flora.
Have you been sick 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 between meals. 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 important thing is to have Passazhiks on hand, then I can consider myself saved from intestinal discomfort.

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

If only there was still that option—to eat often.

Try it, it's different from Espumisan because it helps not only with bloating but also with nausea, heartburn, and heaviness.

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

And if besides bloating there's pain, 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 of things, but nothing works.

Hello, I'm currently taking Meteospasmyl, so I can say that it helps with pains and directly with flatulence. Basically, if you have both problems, you can 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 Meteospasmyl 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 believe happened.

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

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

Then she spent a solid hour trying to convince me that all the noises were normal, that it's impossible to live without sounds during digestion, 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 are abnormal noises due to a disorder and they need to be treated!!

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 realized that only later. At the time, she prescribed me some tests and a treatment plan that included supplements and digestive pills. The treatment was supposed to last 3 months. During the treatment, it got much better, and I was already feeling hopeful. But after it ended, everything went back to square one. I lost faith in doctors and started reading all the forums myself, trying to find a solution. Many people praised fennel tea, but it gave me tachycardia, and I suffered through the nights(( Then I came across advice to cleanse the intestines with Enterosgel. I remembered that I had taken it once for mild food poisoning and the noises disappeared for several days, so I took it for a few days, and damn, it got even worse!!!!! Now the noises transformed into obvious wild gurgling and increased flatulence became even more intense, damn it!!!

At that point, my parents got involved in the story, and I had to tell them about my depressive state. My mom, through acquaintances who hold high positions in healthcare, found me a "luminary" in gastroenterology in St. Petersburg. I went to see her; the walls were covered with awards, for treatises, contributions to medicine, blah-blah-blah. She looked through my hefty folder with records of doctor visits, tests, ultrasounds, and other procedures. In short, she prescribed even MORE tests, including (oh, 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 to say I was upset would be an understatement.

Well, the tests that were prescribed were really thorough, I did them all, read even more reviews about the 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 sit there quietly, waiting for her to read everything and sternly ask, "And where's the colonoscopy?! What did you come here for?! Go 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 check the reviews, composition, contraindications, and only then start taking them. After doing this, I realize that her prescriptions didn't sit well with me. One medication was actually for motion sickness and nausea (what does that have 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 side effects. Only the supplement was okay, which I had taken before.

Once again, I'm back at square one... I went to the previous doctor (the theorist-prepper) to consult about what he thought of the prescribed pills. She adjusted them slightly, but basically just copied them from the other doctor's sheet))) Time and money down the drain... The resolution!! By a happy coincidence, my father's friend arrived, a big shot in Moscow, and it turns 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 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'm listening, enjoying the silence, and it still feels like familiar sounds will interrupt it again any moment now 😢 I pray for my doctor—he brought me back to social life (even though there isn't much of it now during self-isolation)), but only those going through these struggles will understand me.
Guys! I'm leaving my doctor's contact info, hoping I can make someone else as happy as I am!!
I'll answer all your questions! Wishing everyone good health!!
PS Sorry for such a messy and long story, just understand that finding the right doctor these days is very difficult :((( And always double-check what you're prescribed—you can't blindly trust!

Good afternoon, and what are these medications? What have you been treated with?

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

Alexandra, hello! Can 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 now she's silent as a partisan)

Please write the doctor's contact info for me too!

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

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

Please write the doctor's contact info.

This user has described the same thing in several discussions as here, and that's it, their activity just 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 contact info. I have the same problem.

I think it was a scam.
This nonsense has been going on for a month now.
I want to get a sigmoidoscopy and an irrigoscopy.
And it wouldn’t hurt to get an EGD 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 so grateful to you 🙏🙏🙏

I'm 41, and in recent years, I started noticing rumbling in my stomach. I thought maybe it was normal after eating certain foods. I didn’t even realize how much it had escalated. The rumbling became constant—before and after meals, in the morning, afternoon, and evening, 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 waiting in line. 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 started a diet—buckwheat and similar foods after the holidays—but that hadn’t helped before. I’m still taking them, and it’s been almost a week. I’m afraid to jinx it, but I think I really do have dysbiosis since I responded to the probiotics. I plan to continue for another two weeks. I’ll need to buy more because I’ve already forgotten what it’s like not to have constant rumbling all day. I’m sharing this a bit early, so to speak, but I really want to help anyone with the same issue. Give it a try—it might help. Wishing you all good health.

Please write out 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 six months of grumbling, and no medications have helped; now I'm taking Florium capsules, and still nothing.

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

What are you eating? I want that too.

Maxilak worked for me.

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

Hello. Can I contact 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 solve the problem? 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, actually, at the same time as my daughter. The medication needs to be taken for a month. At least today I slept peacefully at night and woke up in the morning without any gurgling. 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?
