What Causes Bloating And Sounds From The Abdomen?

Hi, I've been havings sounds coming out of my stomach or somewhere in there. It's not because I'm hungry or anything. It always happens. I hear water noises and bloating sounds really loud. I also get this strange feeling like I'm really hungry for a few minutes in the morning even though I don't feel hungry. Oh yea, it's also hard to burp sometimes using the swallowing the air method. What can cause this?

Hi there.

Thanks for writing in.

The fact that you have bloating sensation and burping, points to indigestion.
Occasional gurgling sounds in the stomach are normal.

I would advise you to have smaller frequent meals, instead of 3 large meals a day.
Have meals at regular and same time everyday....basically , don't skip meals.
Avoid alcohol, smoking, carbonated beverages, oily ,spicy and fatty food.
Regular exercise 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week is a must.
Drink warm water at regular intervals... good for digestion.

If none of these measures are helpful, you can take an antacid or pantoprazole, which will reduce your symptoms.

Hope this answer was helpful to you.

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
