Gurgling stomach normal?



Recommended Posts

Hi

I felt a little naseuous this morning, slight tummy ache, but I think it was a need to 'go.' I took 30 ml of MoM earlier this morning & it helped.

I ate Breakfast (about 3 1/2 tablespoons of cream of wheat w/ 1 tablespoon of unflavored Protein powder) about 3 hours ago. No issues there.

I'm drinking my fluids & my stomach has been gurgling like crazy the last 1/2 hour. Am i hungry or is it telling me something else?

Does your stomach still gurgle? What does it mean? Good thing I'm working from home. Otherwise, my co-workers would think my stomach was attacking!

Feedback? Thank you!!!

PS - 12 days post-op

I've had my gurgling stomach wake me up from a nap! lol

Unless it's accompanied by discomfort or issues, it's normal and happens to lots of us. It doesn't necessarily mean hunger.

hehe, totally normal. It'll last for a few weeks yet. Mine only does it now when I've eaten something spicy and then it'll chug back into action. As if its saying 'Oi?! What's this?!'

Embrace the gurgling. Its just your body getting used to things. As above, if you're not in pain/discomfort/have a fever, its all good.

It was a great source of amusement for my partner and I in the early days. Now its stopped, I really kind of miss it! :blink:

For the 9 months, my stomach made noises like rocks in a garbage disposal every time I drank or ate. Now it only grumbles a bit on occasion. When I accidentally overeat, I still get the gurgling sensation as air bubbles move around the food in my stomach, but the bubbles were never painful.

I get a lot of gurgling, especially at bedtime after I've had my last drink of Water and some pills. :)

Mine sounds like a dragon fight. The worst was when I tried to eat cauliflower.

Mine reminded me of dinosaurs fighting in my tummy! Like there's have said, it would also wake me while I was sleeping. I was so worried it wouldn't go away before I had to start teaching, so my high school students would focus on the noises rather then what I said.

However, as I progressed through the food stages, the noises quieted down. I think once I was eating soft foods, it was very infrequent and barely audible.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Glad this "stomach talk" is normal :)

As long as you are not having pain, nausea, vomiting, or excessive bloating, bowel sounds aren't unusual.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
