Hi,

Hearing gurgling in the stomach is a normal phenomenon of the GI system having to do with the generation of gas escaping from fluid and/or the churning action of the stomach following meals. It is not likely related to your symptoms you are having as a consequence of your stroke. Please see your doctor for a referral to physical and speech therapy and you will see improvement in both the left-sided strength as well as speech problems which is more likely a dysarthria rather than aphasia.

You should see some improvement with time and good effort/compliance on your part with the suggested regimen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi,
