stomach rumbling :(

hi all.
recently (as in past year) my stomach often "rumbles", making loud noises and making me uncomfortable, distracted and embarrassed.

normally this wouldn't bother me, but i have GCSE's coming up and i really dont want my stomach to growl during my exams, as i dont want anything to stop me getting a*'s.

please help me out.
i mean, even if i eat something my stomach still goes crazy, especially during tests/silent moments. THANK YOU!

Perhaps have a bottle of water that you can chug to fill you up when you feel it happening.

You probably need to dump

This is not rumbling due to hunger I assume as that would be the obvious answer normally? You aren't on any diet or such?

If it is not hunger, it could potentially be related to a slight food intolerance. I have had a lot of stomach rumbling in the past related to food intolerances, so it might be worth seeing if it might be triggered by some food within your diet.

This is something I used to worry about so much when I did my GCSEs! The best thing I did was eat a few slices of cut up apple before an exam. Do you eat enough fibre? Also, Rescue Remedy products are good for easing nerves, which can speed up the digestive system.

I thought this was something I'd never get over, but now in my A level exams, my stomach could rumble all it wants, I need good grades!

Hope this helps, don't get yourself too down about it, sometimes you're so tuned in to the slightest noise it makes that others can't even hear it! :smile:

im certain that if my stomach doesnt rumble in my exams i can ace them, but the main thing stopping me from getting all A*s is my rumbling stomach :frown:
