Noisy Gut

[RiceAddict]

I'm relatively new, so excuse me if this has been covered before.

My gut make the most horrendous noises lateley. I was DX right before thanksgiving, and have tried to be as gluten-free as can be. No D/C, vomiting, or greater feeling of ickyness. Seems to be really bad when I lay down at night. I hope I don't wake the neighbors! But the noises have occured at all times, on empty stomach or shortly after eating. Anyone else experience this or am I just weird?

I don't think you are hearing things. My stomach tends to make a lot of noise on occassions and I never noticed it prior to being gluten free. Mind you I did not notice many things then, I thought everything that was wrong with me, was just me and got on with it.

I don't know about you, and it is a possibility, but my stomach gets noisier when I have accidently been eating gluten.

That used to happen to me all the time. It was so loud that my husband would look at me and we would wonder what was going on in there. When I get glutened I immediately get this whistling/whining noise from in there. That is usually my first symptom that I have eaten something with gluten- it happens after a bite or two.

It takes a while for your system to heal and also for you to get the hang of the diet. My noise issue quieted down after being gluten-free, I really don't remember when exactly it went away but I don't have the problem anymore.

People used to stop to laugh at my gut during meetings. All of us sitting around a conference table, someone talking with the hum of powerpoint going, and then everybody laughing and looking in my direction as the howling proceeded. Sounded like a pack of wolves living down in there (and hurt too!).

At some point, I think maybe two or three months or so (I can't really remember now for sure, but it took a while) gluten free, the sounds started to diminish and are almost entirely gone now, 11 months into the gluten free diet. At this point, if it gurgles, it's quick and quiet and I'm usually the only one that hears it.

When I eat something that doesn't agree with me, gluten for example, my innards make all kinds of gurgling noises. It's more noticeable at night.

I lived with this all my life till I went gluten-free. Now it is one of the first indications that I have gotten gluten somewhere, even the smallest amount of CC in a food or non food item will do this.
