Stomach Gas Noises

Hey guys, how is everyone?
I managed to get into university and I have had a couple of lectures so far but my stomach keeps growling really loudly in them! Its quite embarasssing because its so quiet in the lecture halls so everyone can hear. I was wondering if anyone took anything for this problem? I heard green tea is meant to help? And its not because of hunger ha

Do you really mean "stomach" or do you mean the lower abdomen (colon)? They are two completely different things.

Stomach is easy. I disagree with ingesting any liquid - that will make it worse. Nibble on a little bread, or crackers, or something light.

Now if it is the abdomen you are talking about that is more difficult, but still I'd avoid solving it with any liquids, teas. Abdomen noises take advance planning, and are usually the result of what you've eaten the day before or how bad your UC is. If I have a quiet meeting coming up, or a class situation (but I've graduated now), then I'm really careful what I eat the day or morning prior.

For instance the day before I may just have some scrambled eggs and toast the evening before, and the morning of, maybe just some toast, or 1 egg. Just before maybe nibble on some bread or crackers. A completely empty system is not good (both stomach and colon), and also a full system isn't good either. Also have some GASX just before. I like the chewable kind. And maybe 1 or two Immodium.

I know what you're talking about and I've dealt with it a lot! Most of the time what UCers really mean is the abdomen and NOT the stomach. Again, liquid is not the answer at all.

Good luck.
