I'm really struggling with this really loud sound coming from my stomach, and it's so embarrassing, especially when I'm around other people. I just feel really uncomfortable. What can I do to stop these gurgling sounds?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The gurgling sound from your stomach is a natural part of digestion, but it can be minimized with lifestyle and dietary changes. Eat smaller meals, chew thoroughly, and avoid gassy foods and carbonated drinks. Manage stress and stay hydrated to support digestion.If the issue persists or causes significant discomfort, its important to seek medical advice to rule out any underlying digestive issues.

View allI've been dealing with GERD for 20 years and take PPIs daily. Even after changing my lifestyle, I still feel food getting stuck in my throat. Some doctors recommend surgery while others say it's not needed or might not work. I'm really confused and frustrated because GERD is ruining my life. Is surgery actually a permanent solution for this? I'm ready to consider it if it can help me finally get relief.
While surgery (like laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication) can be highly effective in treating GERD, it's not always a "permanent" solution, and it's not appropriate for everyone. , it's the last treatment option after lifestyle changes and medications fail, and even then, it doesn't guarantee complete eradication of symptoms.

I've been taking rabeprazole and domperidone for a year now because of my hiatal hernia, but I'm only 22. Is surgery a better option or will I have to stay on these meds forever? How long is it safe to keep taking them?
You’re young, and long-term PPI use can affect bone health, B12, and magnesium levels. If symptoms persist despite meds, consider surgery.
