Hi,
Gurgling sounds could be normal or abnormal.
Normally, it occurs due to passing of food through intestine, gas forming foods,high carbohydrates diet, drinking of alcohol or anxiety and stress.
Abnormal causes are indigestion,dyspepsia,
irritable bowel syndrome, acute gastroenteritis,acute intestinal obstruction etc.
Diagnosis can be done by routine blood, clinical examination, X- ray abdomen,ultrasound of abdomen or lastly endoscopy of GIT.
Treatment is generally depend on underlying cause but you may take digestive engymes,antispasmodics or broad spectrum antibiotics with anarobic coverage after consultation of gastroenterologist.
