I'm So Rumbly In My Tummy!

This has been going on for several months now. The range and volume of rumbles, squeaks, gurgles, and groans coming from my tummy is just astonishing! Right now, it sounds like a summer thunderstorm on a hot Florida afternoon!! And every time my stomach starts this symphony, I think of that song sung by Winnie the Pooh, "I'm so rumbly in my tummy!"

The worst part is, it seems to always want to begin when I'm in class (I teach at a local college), and it usually waits until my students are quietly doing their work. It's embarrassing sometimes!!

Could this be a symptom of Celiac? Is there anyway to get it to shut up or at least tone it down a bit? (I haven't been diagnosed yet.)

Thanks and hugs,

Lisa

I was diagnosed with Celiac 4 months ago.I have similar rumblings and it is my most bothersome gastro symptom.It is for me part of my celiac symptoms others may have different?If possible I would consult a doctor.I think it could possibly be a symptom of other gastro conditions.I Dont think I would want to go gluten-free without conformation.Even 4 months into a gluten-free diet this still remains for me hoping it gets better with healing and time.I hope you find a cause for yours and all goes well.Good luck.

It was definately a symptom for me. My tummy is much much quieter now. At this point for me it is the first sign I have been glutened but the D doesn't start till 2 or 3 days later, but that may not be the case for you.

Hi Lisa,

I'm not a diagnosed celiac, but I am at the very least gluten-intolerant. Tummy rumbling was one of my symptoms. Towards the end, it got very loud and very regular. I've been gluten-free for three months now and would say I only get roughly 10% of the rumbling I used to.

All the best,

Amanda

This is something that used to happen to me a lot. In my teen years it would happen in church during prayer, or on a date at the movies and at school too. Very embarrassing with awful anxiety and perspiration to go with it.

I sympathize with your tummy prob's. I hope you don't have h.pylori like I did.

I went to dr with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fullness in my stomach, that had gotten worse. I had lost about 20lbs in 6 months and looked like a skeleton. My stomach and intestines were almost always making loud (I mean LOUD) noises. The Dr said that it sounded like h.pylori bacteria and sent me to test for it while I waited to see the GI dr.

I was feeling so terrible and it was so loud by the time the test came back positive and he was sure I had an active case. I was begging to feel better, so he started me on Prevpac. It was a week and started feeling better. Less rumbly in the tumbly as you put it. By the time I finished the treatment, I had seen the GI dr and he said the diarrhea was consistent with Celiac disease. More blood work! Finally I had the endoscopy and was confirmed as Celiac disease.

      Yes, IMO, you need to quit and look for another job. You can't put a price on your health. It's unfortunate that your parents don't understand but they don't have to live with the ravages of unattended celiac disease. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do and just be willing to live with the fact that some people will not understand. I don't know your age but that's being an adult and taking ownership of your life.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      Oh I definitely am doing that!  I'm having a "last hurrah" leading up to the endoscopy and I am making sure to eat as much gluten as I can now.  I will say I am BLOATED but I've been this way for so many years, it's kind of my norm.  Just a couple more weeks until I have answers though, I hope!

      Curious if I should quit my job

      By ohmichael · Posted

      Just got a new job working at a grocery chain, never worked grocery before. Mon (19th) and Thur (22nd) started feeling flu-like, realized I had probably been glutened at work but not sure how, didn't eat it! Found out I probably breathed in loads of it while handling bread and flour products stocking shelves on those 2 dates. I am in pain, but I don't have a back-up plan and I can't keep damaging my body. I tried to ask for a reasonable accom. but the manager says it would be an undue burden because i have to avoid two aisles. I am sad because i liked this job to start but now I'm really going through it. Today I didn't stock bakery or baking aisle and I was just starting to come out of it, now the symptoms are starting up again. I live w my parents and they don't understand or care to understand. I will be unemployed while I search for something new, but I am damaging my body in this current job and they can't switch me anywhere because I'm part time and a new hire. Should I trust my intuition and quit, and then apply for jobs outside of my home so my parents believe I am still going to work (until I finally find a job that doesn't handle gluten)?

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great that you’ve scheduled a doctor’s appointment to address your symptoms, especially given your family history of autoimmune diseases, including celiac disease. Your symptoms—such as stomach pain, chronic diarrhea, nausea after gluten consumption, joint pain, and headaches—do align with common signs of celiac disease, so it’s definitely worth discussing with your doctor. To help your doctor understand your concerns clearly, consider writing down a detailed list of your symptoms, including when they started, how often they occur, and any patterns you’ve noticed (like symptoms worsening after eating gluten). Mentioning your family history of autoimmune conditions will also be helpful, as celiac disease has a genetic component. You might also ask about getting tested for celiac disease, which typically involves blood tests and possibly an endoscopy. Avoid cutting gluten out of your diet before testing, as this can affect the accuracy of the results. Hopefully, your doctor can provide clarity and guide you toward the right next steps—hang in there, and good luck with your appointment!
