Brief Answer:
Probably irritable bowel syndrome.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to a irritable bowel syndrome.

I suggest to do a abdominal ultrasound and a stool test to exclude other possible causes.

Meanwhile, I suggest to use Buscopan 10 mg medication to relieve the gurgling.

I also suggest to use daily probiotics and drink liquids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Should I follow up with a Dr.? If so, would you recommend a gastroenterologist? If not, who else would be able to help?

Brief Answer:
A consult with a gastroenterologist is recommended.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again dear,

The irritable bowel syndrome can be a chronic condition.

So, I definitely recommend to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

An endoscopy may also be needed to confirm the diagnosis.

Hope it helps.
