I'm So Rumbly In My Tummy!

This has been going on for several months now. The range and volume of rumbles, squeaks, gurgles, and groans coming from my tummy is just astonishing! Right now, it sounds like a summer thunderstorm on a hot Florida afternoon!! And every time my stomach starts this symphony, I think of that song sung by Winnie the Pooh, "I'm so rumbly in my tummy!"

The worst part is, it seems to always want to begin when I'm in class (I teach at a local college), and it usually waits until my students are quietly doing their work. It's embarrassing sometimes!!

Could this be a symptom of Celiac? Is there anyway to get it to shut up or at least tone it down a bit? (I haven't been diagnosed yet.)

Thanks and hugs,

Lisa

I was diagnosed with Celiac 4 months ago.I have similar rumblings and it is my most bothersome gastro symptom.It is for me part of my celiac symptoms others may have different?If possible I would consult a doctor.I think it could possibly be a symptom of other gastro conditions.I Dont think I would want to go gluten-free without conformation.Even 4 months into a gluten-free diet this still remains for me hoping it gets better with healing and time.I hope you find a cause for yours and all goes well.Good luck.

It was definately a symptom for me. My tummy is much much quieter now. At this point for me it is the first sign I have been glutened but the D doesn't start till 2 or 3 days later, but that may not be the case for you.

Hi Lisa,

I'm not a diagnosed celiac, but I am at the very least gluten-intolerant. Tummy rumbling was one of my symptoms. Towards the end, it got very loud and very regular. I've been gluten-free for three months now and would say I only get roughly 10% of the rumbling I used to.

All the best,

Amanda

This is something that used to happen to me a lot. In my teen years it would happen in church during prayer, or on a date at the movies and at school too. Very embarrassing with awful anxiety and perspiration to go with it.

I sympathize with your tummy prob's. I hope you don't have h.pylori like I did.

I went to dr with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fullness in my stomach, that had gotten worse. I had lost about 20lbs in 6 months and looked like a skeleton. My stomach and intestines were almost always making loud (I mean LOUD) noises. The Dr said that it sounded like h.pylori bacteria and sent me to test for it while I waited to see the GI dr.

I was feeling so terrible and it was so loud by the time the test came back positive and he was sure I had an active case. I was begging to feel better, so he started me on Prevpac. It was a week and started feeling better. Less rumbly in the tumbly as you put it. By the time I finished the treatment, I had seen the GI dr and he said the diarrhea was consistent with Celiac disease. More blood work! Finally I had the endoscopy and was confirmed as Celiac disease.

      Testing

      By trents · Posted

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.

      Help with results

      By mariamccl · Posted

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this? I was eating plenty of gluten before my camera test and for the past 2 weeks have completely cut it out of my diet and I'm seeing changes in my bowel movements for the first time in my life! Headaches, dizziness etc are still there but maybe it takes longer for them to go away? Any help would be so appreciated -  I feel so lost in this whole process!!

      Did your symptoms improve after going on a gluten-free diet?

      Thank you for sharing your genetic test results and background. Your results indicate you carry one half of the DQ2 heterodimer (DQA1*05), which is associated with a very low celiac disease risk (0.05%). While most celiac patients have either DQ2 or DQ8, these genes are also present in people without celiac disease, so the test alone doesn’t confirm a diagnosis. Since you’ve been gluten-free for 10 years, traditional diagnostic methods (like endoscopy or blood tests) would not be reliable now. If an official diagnosis is important to you, consider discussing a gluten challenge with your doctor, where you reintroduce gluten for a period before testing. Alternatively, you could focus on symptom management and dietary adherence, as your gluten-free diet seems to be helping. Consulting a gastroenterologist or celiac specialist could provide further clarity.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
