well this is my problem, i dont know what triggers it, i tried several kind of foods and tested most of them, but the result is always the same, i cant figure out what triggers the Loud stomach Voices  , i found out that it gets worse when i drink anything with something that has caffine, eat vegetables. and my stomach hurts me sometimes when i eat chocolate, olives, sometimes Shrimp.
the voices keep bothering me, most of the day weither i was hungry or not, they keep coming out , i stopped eating the above mentioned and it decreased somehow from coming out, but i cant stop it completly, i cant concentrate on studying, i feel embrassed when am in meetings with these loud voices coming out from my stomach,  , this case been with me for 5 years now, and most of time i feel like am out of energy, even if i sleep alot. Any advice is welcome to get out of this Hell

I have a really rumbly loud tummy too. I really hate being in a quiet room cause everyone thinks I'm hungry even though I've probably eaten not long ago and am just suffering the after effects. I get it mostly at night though after I go to bed. Have you tried (other than avoiding the triggers, chocolate is a REALLY bad one for making my tummy sound like a washing machine) taking something like De-Gas or Gas-x I think it's called in America?

I'm sorry but have this too. Especially if I haven't had a bm in awhile. It makes me feel uncomfortable too.Are you constipated a lot? I feel like when I get a handle on that the noises will get better. I agree with the other I think its gas too. I also am starting to look at what I ate the day before,especially at night. I think for me its sometimes if I consume too much of a certain food. Like an example if you ate more then usual of chocolate. I'm sorry no great advice other than I usually eat some bread to settle the juices hungry or not.Take care

my stomach is loud also, like you can here the acid moving through and it growls even after about 30 minutes to an hour of eating, probably because i never eat very much in one sitting. i handle it by eating bread like stuff during meeting, I just snack on little things like dry cereal or crackers, and it seems to calm things down. I also watch what I eat the night before if I have a meeting or church services the next morning, I just make sure I don't eat anything that could cause problems while going through my intenstines.
Also, another thing I do is try to always sit by a vent, or if someone has a laptop computer with the little fan going, I just try to sit by something that is kind of noisey to cover up my stomach. This of course is not always possible.
But my stomach has been loud (not gas, just noises) my whole life, even before IBS, so don't feel bad,you are not the only person in the world.

yeah i usually do that too setting near something noisy lol, and i tried gas-X and some other peppermint capsules, they just kept my stomach bloat like a ballon , the doctor told me that my stomach is full of gases last time i went to the hospital, i dont know if this something that been caused from IBS or if it is genetic thing, since the doctor told me there is no Cure for you and you have to live with it entire your life. i decided since then to not get married so my Children wont suffer like me, i dont want them to take my genes and suffer like me lol, anyways i know i sound crazy but since i cant figure the solution for this problem and lost my scholarship due it because i couldnt attend lectures with this noisy stomach, thanks all for your replies have good day.

Hi Meshari
If it is gas I've found that abdominal massage can really help release it. This is something my naturopath turned me on to and I find it really helps. Now, while you're doing it it's going to make your noises LOUDER (so don't do it during your lectures!) but in the long run I find it helps to really quiet them down.
Lie on your back in bed and try to relax. Then start running your fingers over your stomach (mostly lower) until you find a spot that feels kind of lumpy or bubbly or a spot that hurts. Then gently but firmly press two or three fingers into the spot and start making little circles. Like I said, you'll probably start gurgling and grumbling! But it won't hurt, and after a minute or so you should notice that the 'lump' is starting to subside! (and well you may be releasing gas too so best to do this alone - it definitely relieves some of the pressure though!)
Best of luck!!!

I just want to add what everyone else has mentioned. THere are some great yoga moves and poses that will help with trapped gas. Hit the "yoga for iBS" icon at the top of this page. It will give you a few ideas about how to get this gas moving and "out" before it makes loud noises. JUst an idea.

My daughter, who is 14, has the same problem. She has called me from school before in frustration after dealing with sitting in a quiet classroom with her stomach hurting and the EMBARRASSMENT for a girl her age to have all these loud noises coming from her intestines. I picked her up in tears. Our dr. prescribed a drug(Librax) which she has been taking for a month. I think it has helped some though I worry about her being on this drug for a long time. Does anyone know anything about it?
