Q.

What can I do about my loudly gurgling stomach?

Hi, I'm pretty good at maintaining my weight but really poor at losing it! One of the things I find is that despite eating/drinking plenty of water my stomach makes really loud rumbling noises. This is really embarrassing so to try and curb it I eat and drink more! It's a viscous circle. I'm not sure whether i'm really hungry or not! Can you help - am I doing something wrong?

Our expert says...

A loudly gurgling stomach can sometimes be symptomatic of a bowel condition - IBS for example, or an inflammatory condition. But it’s hard to say, and you would be best served going to your GP  for a diagnosis of the problem. It may be that the noise is completely normal for you however. Some gut noise is healthy as it indicates everything is moving through just fine, and that you are not constipated!

I don’t think eating or drinking more is going to help, and it will certainly ruin your diet, so do try to resist doing this, though obviously eating regularly is important. As well as asking your GP’s advice, you may want to take a probiotic such as Activia yogurt daily which will help if you do have a touch of IBS  Even if it doesn’t do any good it can’t do any harm. Good luck!
