gurgling on left side

jjokMember

Hi all,

Long time veteran of crohns and the j-pouch surgery here..
Was wondering if anyone has ever had rumbling or gurgling feeling on their left side. Not so much in the abdomen but on the flank and back.
Can one feel the rumblings of the intestines in this area?
Or do I have something else to worry about here?
If anyone has had this type of feeling, please let me know.
Thanks,
j

J,
I get this feeling when my pouchitis is acting up. I tend to get a lot of gurgling with pouchitis. Not sure this is your issue, but if it is out of the ordinary, you should bring it to your doctor's attention.

I also get this very low in my rectal area which I attribute to the cuffitis I have also.

I often get this when I am hiking. In my case it's caused by the water I'm drinking while hiking.

I wouldn't worry about the location. It all depends on where your adhesions are (we all have them) and what effect they have on your gut. As long as there is no pain, fever, swelling, or redness, it is just your intestines moving stuff through.

I get this when going to bed. If I lie on my left side, I feel and hear the gurgling. If I lie on my right side I am ok. This is only initially and later in night, I can swith to my left. I just assumed it was the position of my pouch or something.
