Gurgling by liver after eating is what?

Gas: In your hepatic flexure of the colon. There's always gas moving along here and the gastrocolic reflex speeds the colon up.

Small bulge that comes and goes on right side of abdomen, near hernia location. When pressed, small "gurgle" or release of gas feeling, but no pain. It is more visible laying than standing, it's almost never there, just once in a while. Hernia?
