After sleeping while lying flat all night, my boyfriend has certain mornings that he wakes up and his stomach makes terrible gurgling noises and he needs the trash can because at this time he has a large amount of clear spit that drools out of his mouth and it keeps draining like a faucet for about 30 seconds, he will fall back asleep and once again this clear drainage comes out, other days he wakes up without any stomach irritation or spit/drainage coming up. When he has a bad day, and wakes up with this problem he feels bad for about half of the day. His stomach sounds like it is in overdrive also and when I put my ear to his stomach, sounds like when a faucet is on low and dripping?? He is 29 and had the problem for about 5 years, is a smoker, has bowel movements on a daily basis and does not have emesis or any other stomach problems. Thanks, Tracey
