Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: noisy stomach rumbling

Hi! I just wanna let you know that i know exactly what you are going through. I have had IBS for 9 years but it has never been this vocal. I moved to Denmark imonth ago to start my Masters but i have only attended class for a few days of the past month. I am so stressed i dont know what to do. My tummy makes loud farting noises when i am in class. To make matters worse i hear they are now calling me the Black girl from Africa who farts! The Danish Dr i got is an old man who says i should just eat lots of fibre, exercise etc. I have never felt as helpless as i felt the past month. BUT i found this site two days ago and i have been trying out the soluble fibre and fennel tea with nothing else. The only soluble fibre supplements here have psyllium or inulin so thats a non starter. I must say i have notced some difference though. For one the noise now happens between 10 to 30 mins after i have eaten. After that its blessed silence for an hour or so until i eat again.

How are you feeling today though? Im also tring probiotics with the rice i take. I think its going to take some time but we will be fine. I have learnt not to panic, coz even though im homesick and i know noone in Denmark, trouble only lasts for a while then better things come, right.

Be strong and dont panic.
