Growling Stomach, Passing Odorless Gas. Worried

Next week I'm going to be doing my gcse mocks in the exam hall (I'm in year10) and my stomach growls and rumbles really loudly, I also silently fart(no smell) but it makes noises too but not that loudly . Im so worried going to lessons because I can't stop thinking about farting or my stomach growling. It's so embarrassing ! If I can't manage in class how can I manage in the exam hall for and hour or two without constantly worrying?
Please help!!

hi.. growling stomach means its empty and you are hungry and at the same time you are gulping air because of anxiety... and flatulence is also due to this... change your lifesyle.. like empty your bowel twice a day, dont pontpone the natural reflex. eat whole fibres, fruits and vegetables and drink lot of water. can take probiotics for this. aviod pulses/grains during exams instead you can eat egg, which will not produce gas. aviod smoking/caffiene/alcohol. do regular exercises/yoga and pranayama/meditation regularly which helps a lot. if it is not relieved see gastroenterologist, for colonoscopy. all the very best.
