I've been "sick" for 2 years now. I was Diagnosed withCrohn's about 9 months ago(june 2010).
I've been on Humira(every 2 weeks) from the end of July.

The only thing that happens now, is my stomach is REALLY loud. And it usually makes sounds when it's quiet and people around and I'm thinking about it. But there are some days when I don't notice it. I can feel when these sounds are about to happen too.

It doesn't hurt anymore, but it is usually uncomfortable.

It will even happen every 2-5 minutes..

I'm just wondering is this normal??

Any advice helps,
Thanks

I'm not sure anything is 'normal'... but this happens to me ALL the time. I'm on Humira as well. It works well.

I'm currently in a flare, but I have been on it for a year and this is my first flare up on the year (usually in flaring 11 months of the year(

But I think the stomack noises must be normal... I'm really not sure why it does it that though. It happens to me mostly when i have eaten within the last 2 hours. Or if I drank water to fast.
Hope this helps a bit.

A lot of people have made threads about this, let me see if I can find one with a good number of responses. My first guess is gas or not enough food making areas hollow allowing more sound. But I'm not sure what the answer is myself as I don't have that symptom.

I'm sure there's more but I hope you find the answer in one of those at least.
