What Causes Noise From Stomach?

Doesnt matter what I eat or what I drink. Every single time I lay on my left side my stomach will start to make noises(almost instantly) and after only a few minutes I start to feel nauseous and sometimes have even thrown up because of it. What is wrong with me?

Hi..

Thanks for contacting HCM with a health query..

You problem is nausea,gurgling sound and vomiting when you lie down on the left side after taking anything.

Left side is the bulb part (fundus) of stomach.There is valve like mechanism in between stomach and food pipe we call it as gastro oesophageal sphincter.When that is weak ,when stomach is compressed it might lead a problem like this.

We call it as gastro oesophageal reflux disease (GERD)..

So,do not lie down on the left side of abdomen after a feed.. Assume erect posture after food for half an hour and include probiotics in food.

If I have a patient like this in my outpatient department i would give her an anti ulcer drug with motility promoting drug(like someprazole and levosulphuride combo) once a day before food.

But you need to take up medicine only on prescription of medicine by an in person doctor.

If after medicine also it's troubling under advice of a doctor you can take up sling surgery also..

Hope our feedback helps.


Take care
