Hi There Dr, I Just Have A Quick Question Regarding

Question: Hi there Dr, I just have a quick question regarding a feeling that i have been having:
When i move around after drinking a small amount of water, I start hearing a water sloshing sound (Borborygmi) in my upper stomach. It is unhealthy to hear the sound after drinking just small amount of water. For some reason, the water is not going down or getting absorbed. It seems as if something is blocking it.
I am thinking this could a result of an issue i have been having, still have but less often; the issue was constipation. I have had it 2 years ago, and it still comes but not as much. There were times when i didn't have any Bowel Movement for a week. After talking to a doctor, i did colonoscopy, but it was 100% clear. I still don't know where all the food went. If it didn't come out as a stool, it must have gone to another place. There might be a place where it is accumulating and slowly blocking paths.
Recently, I am starting to experience excessive amount of growling and random short needle like pains thought-out my stomach. It happens every other day.
And I am starting to think my previous constipation problem could be the reason why I am experiencing Borborygmi and all the new growling and other feelings.
So what do you think Doctor. I would like to hear your thoughts. Do you think i have Vitamin, Iron, or other deficiency that can contribute to this issue? What should i do next to figure out the reason behind my discomfort?
Thank and Stay safe!!
