What is wrong with me?

By Anonymous - 04/02/2025 02:00 - United States

Today, after I randomly started having mild stomach rumbling in the mornings, I went to the hospital and the doctor simply told me that I had to eat more, I took his advice but it didn't work. Now I’m 6 hospital visits down the line and my stomach is so loud the sounds made could fill a hall. FML

Rumbling guts are usually because of too much air/gas in the system. If you don't drink a lot of fizz or chew food with your mouth open then get checked for Helicobacter pylori, it's the bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers but it also causes gas. If you've only just picked it up then the other symptoms might not be showing yet. You can get over the counter test kits in the UK in pharmacies so you might be able to get one in the US. The pharmacist or Dr will know what you are talking about. If it's not that, try a good probiotic, your gut bacteria could just be out of sorts. Especially if you've been on antibiotics recently. Good luck.

Instead of hospital visits, maybe you could obtain an appointment with a GI expert who can help you.
