A member asked:
My stomach, above belly button, has been gurgling frequently lately. not hunger pains. what causes this? should i be worried about parasites ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor: Impossible to know what is causing intestinal 'gurgling', but unless it is bothering you intensely suspect it may be related to your diet or a transient issue that will resolve itself. The major parasite you are likely to get in usa is giardia (a protozoan) which can be diagnosed easily. Very few people in this country have "worms" unless there is a very specific risk factor.
