Constant Stomach Gurgle - Gas or Something Else?

[phdizzle 43]

Hi All -

This is probably a stupid question- I'm not very good at body function stuff!!

Since Friday I've had a consistent stomach gurgle that feels like my stomach grumbling like it would before when I'm hungry.

It's the worst from 6-8pm at night and moderate in the morning.

Is this gas that will go away or is it the new way my band and stomach processes Water and food?

Can't wait to get a response, I too have experienced the same thing. I was banded 12/19/12.

It's normal, my stomach sounded like a thunderstorm a for a few days post op! It started while I was on mushies. Made my little brother giggle. I think it is some gas and some of your body getting used to food again. It will eventually go away. Good luck.

Unfortunately being banded this is a normal thing. All digestion is different now and your stomach will sometimes embarass you. I have said excuse me more since being banded then any other time in my life lol

I was wondering the same thing. I was banded on Friday and yesterday my stomach started producing all these weird noises. It's hard to tell of it's gas, hunger growls, or just plain stomach gurgling. I'm sure the further along we get in the healing process the easier it will get to distinguish the difference. Thanks for sharing.

and your colon makes a lot of noise so keep it and you moving.

Thanks all for your input!

Down the road, when your stomach gurgles is it uncomfortable like pressure and release of pressure, or does it just make weird noises?

Thank yoU!

It's not uncomfortable. Just really weird and strong noises!

I have whole conversations with my tummy and intestinal track now. It is perfectly normal and eventually you even begin to understand what it is telling you! LOL

I had my very 1st experience with this in church, of all places. When it is real quiet, it seems like tummies want to speak!!!Best wishes, it gets better, but sometimes it still speaks loudly!
