try dicyclomine (Bentylol).

Is it painful as well? Any particular time of the day it's worse?

I used to have an orchestra in my colon. Mostly at night. Not as much while in remission, but still noisy sometimes depending on what I eat.

Seems worse after I have not eaten for some time; I wonder if there is an empty portion that the food is gurgling through. I get it the the day after I argue with my wife (no medicine for that I suppose). It's not painful but very embarrassing. I just might ask for the dicyclomine ( I never really considered taking something for it--suppose I could add one more to the rest. Thanks.

Hi...well stress isn't good for it for sure....gets the old digestive tract in high gear...

Talking and clarifying feelings helps if both are on board with that....marriage counselling? Blame and resentment (I'm just assuming) are huge defeaters in relationships. Dr. Phil's relationship rescue book is helpful if the above suggestion isn't a possibility.


Eat small meals throughout the day....good food.

At least you can determine the when it happens. Zantac might also be of help if excess acid is what's causing it. Can be purchased otc.

Thanks Quincy. Ya know that Dr. Phil stuff works and I really appreciated this advice.

The arguments with the wife got better as I learned her cooling off period is longer than my trying to make amends time (if that makes sense). We both apologize more as we age. Kids older so less stress there.

Thanks for the tip. But, I have been having gut gurgling issues since early last week and just can't get in check. I never took Bentylol but might have to check in on that - still a valid med?

My tummy becomes instantly quiet after i take vsl and stays quiet for a long time, if i miss a dose my tummy lets me know. Strange huh?

Interesting data. I've added some different foods since visiting back in here 2 weeks ago so I believe that's the issue. I do that when I come here. I read the articles about what helps UC inflammation then alter my diet and add things and run into issues. So, I probably need to just go back to what I was doing or just cut back on what I added.

Thanks
