Hi.
Noted the findings and history.
The rumbling, what we call as borborygmi is a symptoms of intestinal obstruction. Both have relation to each other. The pain and rumbling are suggestive of intestinal obstruction and I would suggest such a patient to go to ER and get an X-ray of abdomen in standing position. Get admitted - nil orally or allow only water orally till then. X-ray will tell the site of and extent of obstruction.
