So I am back, after 5 years... again at it

[davidP 15]

Hi guys, 

So after good 5 years ( in terms of HA...) looks like i am back in the cycle 😞 ..... 

5 years ago i was in in every cycle you can imagine. 

This time i am in the stomach/colon fear again. The trigger was last week. I started to have diarrhea and lose stool. My gut keeps on making the growling sounds and I am pretty much very gassy. 

If it would pass in a day or 2 i guess i would not pay attention, the fact it went longer put my anxiety back up and as i know HA, i am pretty sure it only making symptoms worse. 

Anyone else suffering from noisy guts and lots of gas movement ?

From time to time, yes. I had a bad upper stomach pain for six months. Nothing was ever found and it finally stopped after trying supplements. No other symptoms happened either.

That is certainly a possibility.   It's right up there with getting hair on your back.  40 is an interesting age.

Anyone know if those probiotics pills should make me super gassy ? I mean really gassy and noisy belly from these gasses. I never took probiotics before in my life.

They can. Not all do though. I take them daily with no issue. I’ve taken others that caused lots of issues like gas.

I am gassy and my stomach makes noises too. My GI physician told me to take Florastor 3 times a day, which is a probiotic.

Medications impact people differently. What might make you gassy might not for me and vice versa. I would try different things to see what works and what doesn't. I am sure you will find something that works for you. Have you heard of IBGard?

Hi Mike, no i did not. But then again, im in Europe so we might have different names/products. My bowel/intestines still making rumbling noises. So far had blood checks, abdominal ultrasound and was all clear. Cannot say i am not worried… did colonoscopy 5 years ago, so the doctor less worried on that front. 
 

its like a month i am with this noises and loose/ floating stools. If its nothing serious i would really like some good product to try. Everyone saying probiotics are very good, but didn’t had much success with the 2 kinds i tried.

You could have excess gas which causes stools to float. Happens to me from time to time. I have gone through the whole bowel fears myself! If you're interested, a bunch of us old school AC people are in on a group chat on FB messenger. Shoot me a message and I can add you if you want!

The colon wouldn't have much to do with what is going on "further up".  The probiotics may be doing something.  We have a yogurt that had probiotics put into it and it was supposed to help with digestion.

It might be helping too much.  Dehydration may also be an issue if there is a bit more gas.

I swallow so much air and eat lots of veggies.  I think I could float a hot air balloon.  

That being said,  if you STOP being able to pass gas or have stools, go directly to a gastro.  I waited 2 months.  I had a cancerous polyp causing blockage.
