Why Am I Having Loud Frequent Gurgling In My Stomach?

im a 34 yr old male, 6 2 195 lbs. I have been diagnosed with gerd and gastritis after endoscopy (biopsies negative for celiac and h pylori). all other tests normal (gallblader, colonoscopy, cat scan of pelvis and abdomin, liver and pancreas blood work) was taking ppis for months with little help, doctor gave me bentyl to try no change so far. i have increased belching but i can tolerate it, what really drives me crazy is this loud frequent gurgling in my stomach. It happens here and there thru out the day and some when laying down at night but is hands down the worst early in the morning. I keep waking up much earlier than usual between 5 and 5:30am (i usually get up at 7) and once i wake up i cant go back to sleep and this loud gurgling and bubbling starts in my stomach and wont let up. (usually have some burping and wind as well). is their anything serious (cancer) is should be worried about even tho all these tests come back normal. anything else i can try. was on acephex for years for years for gerd but doctor switched me to dexilant after onset of these new symptoms and gastritis. I have lost 15-20lbs in these last 6 months since this all started.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would advise that you should take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with Domperidone 30mg.

Following precautions will be helpful :-
1.Avoid spicy and oily foods.
2.Avoid being empty stomach for long periods.
3.Avoid mental and emotional stress.
4.Avoid smoking and alcohol, if any.
5.Avoid self medications, especially pain killers and steroids.
6.Drink lots of water daily.
7.Eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions.
8.Avoid gas producing foods like peas, cabbage, legumes, etc.
9.Avoid eating fast and talking while eating.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
