Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
You are reporting to have gas release and stomach voices.
Your symptoms may be related with :
-GERD (acid reflux)
-IBS (I need to know bowel movement changes)
To my opinion you need to do:
- upper endoscopy
- abdominal ultrasound
Meantime I suggest to :
- eat often and small amount of meal
- avoid fatty and spicy foods
- use two pillows when you lay down
- use PPI'S treatment like prilosec OTC
- use antacids like gaviscon
- increase physical activity
Hope it was helpful to you!
