stomach & intestine gases

Hi, I'm new to the boards and am wondering if anyone has heard of this problem:

For a little over two years, I've been having digestive / bowel problems, no pain, just a lot of gas that seems to move around the intestines making fairly loud sounds, similiar to that of an empty stomach. It comes and goes, sometimes as soon as I eat, other times up to four hours later. Usually lasts around 30 minutes or so. It seems to occur more in the early evening (2 - 4 pm) or after dinner (7 - 8 pm). My stool is on the loose side, but not diarrahea. It's embarrasing to be in quiet situations, as I get afraid of the possible sounds that may come from my intestines.

I've tried a gastroenterologist, had a colonoscopy and barium test, parasites testing, etc. and the only response I get is IBS. I've also tried a food diary and can't seem to make any correlations.

Has anyone had a similiar problem? Thank you for any help in advance.

Re: stomach & intestine gases

The minerals that cause your intestines to function well is magnesium and calcium. Lacking these can result in intestinal noises.

Re: stomach & intestine gases

Harry,

Thanks for the response. Do you recommend any vitamin / mineral? I've been taking GNC's MegaMan multivitamin for about a month now and it doesn't seem to help...

Any recommendations?

Thanks again!

Re: stomach & intestine gases

If you look on the label it probably does not have much magnesium or calcium-- in it.

The best absorbable minerals are chelated type -- these minerals are bonded to a protein amino acid that is readily absorbed.

The one's I like best are patented by Albion Labs and sold to various companies like Solgar, Doctor's Best, Carlson and Kal.

The Rec. Daily Allowance is 400 mg of magnesium and it is best to take it in divided doses for good absorption---
