Hey, ur welcome..yea I get incomplete evacuation also, from your posts it seems we have similar issues.
Take a look at this, it helps explain some things based on an eastern perspective. I know some of the things sound like another language so let me know if you have any questions.

Do you add anything to your teas? You drink alot of fennel tea! I think that may be too much. You may feel better if you drink plain water instead. Herbs have certain properties and generally fennel is a "hot" herb and too much of it can't be doing you much good. Peppermint on the other hand is a "cool" herb and maybe the combo is causing a reaction in your stomach. I was drinking alot of tea with all differnt herbs thinking it would help, but it was just making it worse. Now I stick to teas with one herb. Blueberry and peach are ok but maybe try only having 2 cups of tea a day and the rest water. Also with the soluble fiber and carbs, I think the trick is to not necessarily cut back on the amount of carbs but the percentage of carbs you are eating in a day. Like make sure you are eating enough protein and insolubles to balance it.
Also, take a look at acidic versus alkaline foods because I am finding that to be really important also.
I would get the noises with too much acidic foods and drinks. Rice milk tends to incresae the noises for whatever reason (maybe because it turns acidic in the body) so now I just use almond drink.
I think maybe you are doing what I did.. I tried so many diffeent things that were supposed to help and they just all interacted and made a big mess. I dont do any supplements anymore. I gave up on all that stuff and now I'm just trying to eat healthy. So far I feel way better. Also, I hope no one gets mad at me but decreasing the high fructose foods has helped me so much. Do you eat applesauce? That was another thing that really made my stomach sloshy. I didn't know it until I stopped eating it.
Does your stomach make those sounds on its own, or do you consciously do it?
