Some basics: Gut/bowel noise is a function of air movement through the gut.This air is what you swallow during feeds or gas created during digestion by germs feeding on the unabsorbed debris. Some people do not digest cow milk sugar well so much is left for the germs. Keep a food diary & find which foods affect you this way & avoid them. Avoid carbonated beverages. Consult your doc if it does not improve.
