Curious how people deal with loud stomach noise in public. Is there methods to slow or stop the sounds? I assume it is gas flowing through but it can be embarrassing and, often, people ask if I had lunch.

I usually just say it's my new system working and laugh it off. At this point, I don't worry much about being embarrassed.
i am having tons of gas noise and bloating in my stomach right now.
First of all you should try to eliminate foods that create a lot of gas like soda, onions, cauliflower, broccoli, beer. That helps some because it will not be as gassy. I also use simethcone which you can take after you eat that helps some to reduce the gas. Make sure you are eliminating your pouch more frequently because for me generally it does not make a lot of noise if I have emptied it. But as soon as you start to eat it will probably start up. If my stool is a little loose and I am going to go out to eat and have a drink i will take imodium because that slows my bowels down and they do not tend to then make that noise for a couple hours. But of course do not do that if your bowels are more formed. I know when at work sometimes I would even avoid eating because I would be embarassed and if they did hear it they would say you better eat your stomach is growling lol It is all part of it and I have looked for something that would settle that down too. So if anyone knows of something other than what I describes might help let us know!
