Done With Colonoscopy. Embarrassed With Bowel Noises. Remedies Required To Overcome This Issue
As others on this forum. I am 48 and have been getting strange embarrassing bowel noises since I can remember. I actually left school when I was doing my A levels because it was so em barrassing. Now I am a student nurse and dont want to give up my last chance of having a career. This is really getting me down, I cannot put it down to any food and have tried giving up caffeine etc. I had a colonoscopy and this was normal. The noises usually happen after eating lunch and can last for ages when I am not expecting them. Very embarrasing when sitting in a university lecture and people start looking at you. Help

Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).
What you all have to do is:
1. Do regular aerobic exercise at least 30 minutes / day
2. If you are obese or overweight then you should reduce your weight again by exercise and low caloric diet
3. Wear loose clothes
4.Observe when you take milk or milk products whether these symptoms worsen, if yes then please avoid them
5. Avoid carbonated drinks, wine or beer
6.Avoid smoking if you do
7. take black tea and add cardamom and ginger to it and take them with meals
8. Don't forget to close mouth while chewing food
9.Eat slowly
10. Take a proton pump inhibitor
11. Take Tablets that contain enzymes protease, amylase, lipase with meals
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
