My stomach hates me: Part 117 1/2

Alright. I can deal with the puking when the slightest bit of garlic or onion touches my stomach. I can deal with the random sensitivities to stuff. But for the sake of people around me, I cannot deal with the damn rumbling.

It won’t stop. No matter what I eat, how slowly, how little, for the entire period it is digesting, my stomach will rumble. Loudly and constantly. I feel it all the way to my throat and I know people hear it and are probably annoyed. It doesn’t hurt or anything like that, and I’m fairly certain it’s not dangerous (I’d have noticed in the three years it’s been happening), but I’m running out of social options here. In situations where it might embarrass me, I can’t exactly always go hungry to stave it off. I’ve cut out all carbonation and all that kind of stuff, and it still happens.

What is wrong with me, dammit? It started soon after a considerable (50+ pound) weight loss and hasn’t stopped since. I very rarely will burp or get heartburn or anything like that. It’s just rumbling all the time. I can feel my boss staring at me as I type this because it’s going again.

Rarr. Stupid stomach. Stupid doctors who insist nothing is majorly wrong with it. Just… RARR :mad: .

Go with the flow.

If it’s making noise, and someone is giving you the eye, begin a conversation with your stomach. Refer to the person watching you, and reply with things like “I can’t do that! giggle

:wink:

My kindred spirit!

I love garlic and onion, and though they don’t seem specifically to do anything terrible to me, it’s not that fun – EVERYTHING I eat turns my stomach wry. This is including my breakfast of whole-grain waffle, skim milk, and fresh strawberries. Health food. Darn good, at that. And I’m still queasy afterward.

I’ve missed almost two weeks of work because I’ve been unable to keep down my food, and the doctor figures now it’s a stomach virus, just hearing the symptoms. But it’s been going on two WEEKS now, and before that, I’d just get randomly nauseous for a day, a week, a month, half a year. No matter what I ate, healthy or junk, red meat or veggie, spicy or dull.

WTF stomach. :frowning:
