Stomach Grumbling!

[meganite]

Does anyone else suffer from their stomach/intestines making lots of noise when you really don't want it to! It is so embarrassing sometimes to be sitting in class and have my stomach making lots of noise. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on things that can be down to tame it?

Thank you!

Yes all the time. Make sure to try and eat small meals all day.

Mine is constantly gurgling away. I can't seem to find a way to make it stop so I've just learned to giggle about it and ignore it haha.

Yes, it happens all of the time! I just laugh and say, "I must be hungry." Although, it's usually a sign that I need to make a break for the bathroom!

Hahaha, I use the "Oops, I forgot to eat this morning" line too

...........and it is always especially loud when it is important to be quiet!

I don't really get that, but I do so love when I fart at the most inappropriate times!!! lol Gotta love crohns!

 

[meganite]

haha it seems like mine always makes noise when it gets quiet, I dont think it's because i'm hungry or have to go to the bathroom, I guess i just digest my food loudly? haha Mary good idea on the smaller meals thing i'll have to try that. I'm glad i'm not the only one who has this issue

I just laugh about it. I also burp a lot (and have no control over it!). At least I can hold back the farts (if I want). Which reminds me, I was at the in laws a few weeks back, playing cards. My boyfriend and has dad got into a farting competition. I let a few silent ones go, and obviously no one noticed. But then one came out that was really loud, and the game stopped and everyone was going 'Who was that? It wasn't me.' Unfortunately I couldn't keep a straight face and had to confess!

LOLOLOLOLOL

I am the queen of farting! I drive my family wild! They run screaming 'stop it!' if in a good mood I just laugh, but when I'm in my 'woe is me' moods (thankfully less and less) I say 'I can't help it, I have *BEEPING* crohns!' haha

I think secretly they then laugh behind my back when I go to sulk lol

Mine is forever making lovely noises. Eating little and often def helps. I find some foods make it worse, so maybe a food diary may help. I have all the embarrassing things that comes with Crohns. xx

All the time, and I just try to laugh it off as I'm hungry......:tongue:

Too bad sometimes it's while I'm eating, oh well.....

Hi Meganite, yes before my op my stomach used to grumble really loud and quite frequently too. Even people standing metres away from me could hear it with clarity....lol.

Some meds can make your stomach rubble more and or louder. When I was on inflixmab my stomach used to rumble ridiculously loud. But it's quite normal for Crohn's suffers stomachs to rumble, all being relative to the severity of the disease.

If I don't somone to hear my stomach rumble...I'll pretend to cough loudly to cover the sounds lol.

Yep...been there - had the rumbling tummy! ..... also the deadly farts - slept on the sofa a time or two to let hubby sleep lol....

 

[CrohnsSucks]

Yep, mine makes all sort of gurgling, bubbling noises and weird high pitched sounds too. Sometimes when I am having bad enough spasms, you can see them through my shirt for about 10 seconds at a time for a few minutes. I just laugh it off as my alien baby!
