My stomach makes weird noises...
It sounds like really bad plumbing.It happens anywhere at any time,but I noticed it gets a lot worse and becomes even louder when I think about it or become very stressed.
I also experience morning sickness (nausea) every day.
This is embarrassing, but I also have trouble defecating in the morning. When I do happen to use the bathroom it's very little and loose, and I'll have the need to go throughout the day during school. Because I'm unable to use the restroom during class, my stomach will make strange noises...but this usually happens later on during the school day :(
My stomach has been doing this for over three years now and I'm fed up! Is it trapped gas? A food allergy? Stomach disease? Stress?
It's very embarrassing...please help!
Hello and thank you for posting your medical question on E health Forum. â
Based on the history and the description of the cramps and specifically, in absence of major symptoms âlike fever, loss of weight, appetite, bloody stools, etc, you may be having Irritable bowel syndrome ââ(IBS).â
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional disorder characterized by cramping abdominal âpain or discomfort with alterations in bowel habits (bloating, constipation, and diarrhea). These âsymptoms usually are present for at least 12 weeks in a patient during the previous one year, and âunfortunately the onset or subsidence cannot be predicted. â
IBS is diagnosed by its signs and symptoms and by the absence of other diseases. IBS does not cause âany permanent damage or any serious illness but the symptoms cause severe discomfort & distress âaffecting an individuals work, ability to travel and attend social events. â

For symptom relief, you may consider to take antacids for acid relief, activated charcoal for bloating âand stomach gas issues.â
