What Causes Abdominal Gurgling During Mornings Along With Soft Stools?

Hi there, I am just wanting to get some advice on my stomach. Every morning when I get up my stomach is gurgling so loudly. At first I thought it might just be because I am hungry, but I am not so sure anymore. After I eat breakfast, my stomach gets really sore and I have to go to the toilet. It either comes out soft or runny. I am gluten intolerant so I am definetly not eating gluten. Do you know what this could be? Thanks heaps

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic

This stomach gurgling movements with soft or runny bowel movements and stomach soreness could be Irritable Bowel syndrome or acute gastritis but there is no need to be worried as it can be managed by proper care.

However,its management relies on diet and lifestyle modifications along with certain medications.

If you are gluten intolerant then better to avoid gluten in diet.

1) Diet and Lifestyle Modifications like avoiding Pulses and Beans, food with high amounts of refined sugars will help.

2) Good stress managment, Yoga and Acupuncture have all been used to help manage the symptoms of IBS with good results.

Medications in IBS like Loperamide (immodium) has been used in the management of IBS with diarrhea.

But it must be used with caution because the more you use it, the higher risk of getting an infection in your bowels.

Antispasmodics like Mebeverine (colospa) has also been used to regulate the bowel in IBS.

You will require complete blood,h.pylori and stool tests,ultrasound abdomen with upper GI endoscopy if the symptoms remains persistent.

Consult gastroenterologist for further advice.
