noises, etc.

i've had this problem for about 10 years now. i've never done anything about it as it's kinda embarassing, but it's really interfering with my normal life now. basically, my "stomach" makes tons of noises, almost all the time. it's pretty much like you can hear the entire digestive process. i put stomach in quotes cause it's lower down but i don't know exactly where it's coming from. it gets alot worse if i get stressed, and if i get nervous, and then it leads to diarrhea. it's to the point where i don't go to meetings at work, or church and don't go to friends to watch movies, etc as i'm so embarassed about the noises coming out of me. my dad has this too and said there's nothing to be done, we jsut have noisy systems. does anyone know anything about this or know anything to help me out here? thank you!!!

hmmm. i didn't know if thats something i'd have or not. except for the fact that i have diarrhea just about everyday, there's nothing else abnormal about it. no blood or anything. not really pain, more urgency than anything. and again, it depends. if i'm nervous, forget it. i could go 10 times an hour. (gross, i know!). certain foods don't seem to trigger it. i've tried everything out there for gas and upset stomach, etc. to no avail. but from what i hear, if that is what i had, there's not mch to do about it anyway? does this lead to cancer or anything?
thanks!!

i have this problem with the stressor thing as well, if I ak anxious, nervous, or stressed to the max, i start going to the bathroom, anywhere from farting to plain out diarreha, not only that but it also happens when i eat fastfood, which is why I hardly eat out at fastfood places because once it's in my symstem i start gurgling down there, then come most horrendous cramps, and within 30 minutes I am going really bad, and it's embarrassing, because people are looking at you, wondering why your running to the bathroom. It only happens during those times. I can't tell you if it's IBS, because I always assumed IBS was all the time pain, and such.
