I was trying to help my new boss with something today and my abdomen was NOISY! You know those high pitched, weird, embarrassing sounds? I kept saying, "wow my stomach, i guess i'm hungry" She said, "Oh that's okay" - But I knew darn well it wasn't my stomach!!!

It's really my fault cause last evening I had lots of black beans and cheese, and today, no breakfast.

Why was I so embarrassed? Anyone relate?

It is embarrassing when those loud noises occur. You know the other person is thinking what is wrong with him/her.

Well...I wouldn't have been embarrassed..i would have said "wonder what all the grumbling is about" or something like that.

I would have been embarrassed if I farted...because that's what I thought I was going to read. yikes! happy for you it wasn't

Yep, rumbling noises are not the big deal. It's the random farts & sharts that we have to worry about in public while flaring. / Old Hat (32 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)

noises are embarrassing but passing wind is way worse!

+1, that is so true.

A couple of months ago, I was on a tooting spree. I was so fed up but luckily it did not smell.

I have a bottle of Digest Centrum enzymes. As and when I eat something that has a history of difficult digestion, I use one capsule and it does a pretty good job.

Odor is bad but sound gives you away every time! I have good days and bad days. Maybe I will give the enzymes a try on a bad day and see if it helps.
