Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The loud sounds that you have been hearing is called borborygmi which is a rumbling or gurgling noise that occurs due to the peristaltic movements of fluid and gas in the intestines. These sounds can be due to :
1) Hunger when there are long gaps between meals. Around 2 hours after your stomach has been emptied, it sends signals to your brain, which tells the digestive muscles to restart peristalsis
2) Irritable bowel syndrome
3) Diverticulitis or colitis
Try to make these lifestyle changes:
1) Alterations in diet, like gradual addition of more fibre in your diet like XXXXXXX leafy vegetables & fruits can ease your symptoms.
2) Avoid taking cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, beans and lentils, caffeinated drinks (tea, coffee) aerated drinks, fried and spicy foods.
3) Also drink plenty of fluids and water and try to stop smoking or alcohol if there is history of intake of any such substance.
4) Also start doing daily exercises, brisk walks, XXXXXXX breathing exercises which help in preventing constipation.
5) Avoid large meals and take small frequent meals.
