A member asked:
I've been on morphine to ease the pain in my back i've noticed my stomach makes a lot of noise but no gall bladder as it's been removed. is this common?

Yes: This class of drugs slows down gastric emptying time. This keeps the food in your stomach longer which is likely contributing to your symptoms.
