Borgarigimi - those coffee maker noises

I am making a plee ~

I suffer from what I think is called Borgariagmi - a noise gut.
It is very very loud and very very annoying.
I is constantly making noises, and is very embarrising.
I have tried GAS X and PEPTO BISMOL - they work for a bit (a few hrs.) but its only a temporary fix.

I have monitored my diet a bit and it seems like it dosen't matter what I eat,
You should hear it - even when I drink water.
There is pressure and discomfort as well that comes along with it most of the time.
I have no idea what else there is out there to make this STOP.
Sometimes it wakes me up a night. And sometimes people look at me strange like I just swallowed a cat
thats trying to claw its way out of my stomach.
I still have about 10 + BM's a day and I am soon going to see another GI in Edmonton for further testing.
Any suggestions, ideas, feedback, similar experiences, is there anyway to get rid of this?

Mine was very noisy when I last flared, I think also because I was underweight there wasn't a lot on top of my belly to muffle the sound! Even now its still noisier then your average person, I get asked constantly if I'm hungry!
I think if you get pressure and discomfort with it it could well be down a bit of stricturing. My GI said the more noise it makes the more it means your intestines are working hard e.g. having to push something through a stricture, might be worth keeping it low fibre/residue until you can see a GI.

It is a normal noise - but one that should only be heard with a stethoscope. For us crohnies and the decibels we are capable of - it is usually indicative of a narrowing of the intestines for one reason or another.....obstruction, adhesions, strictures, polyps etc. I had the same issue for most of a year - until it ended with a resection after multiple obstructions. Hope that isn't the case for you - hello Alberta!

well, sorry for the delay on responding back - thank-you to all of you who responded. Good thoughts, good friends!
I know you are all so very right, Bor-bor-ygmi should be the least of my worries, and yes I have a strong feeling that there is something there abnormal that is causing most of the noises like a stricture or something... I do have a bit of narrowing that they had discovered in tests before, and yes I try very hard to stick to a low residue diet although I do have many favorites like pineapple, and nuts, and popcorn, oh my there are many ... I will end my list there cause its making me hungry. I also take aphadophillis - a natural vitaman that is like taking oodles of yogurt daily and I do see some positive signs with it. But I only take 1 pill a day because they are pretty expensive.
Maybe I will break my piggy bank and try to find some extra $$ and start taking them more often.

Either way I will be going soon to the big city Edmonton and seeing a very busy specialist there for more tests and stuff. I just pray that the good lord will be on my side and things go well and I won't have to miss too much work - The bills don't pay themselves unfortunately...

Thanks again. It is very comforting to know others are out there that know & understand. Its therapy in itself! :o]

Nuts, seeds and popcorn are very dangerous! Consider what happens when an ulcer breaks open leaving a nice little pocket for that kind of debris to get lodged into... Pineapple is good, full of digestive enzymes.

I don't have any central abdominal muscles, and I have a colo-cutaneous fistula so I can fart through my belly. So when I get borborygmi I just pretend it's my husband :)

Agree with the cramping and noise, but then I never get noise when I'm cramping.

I would lean towards a stricture myself. And do agree wholeheartedly that a good probiotic will help alot too. Good luck!
