I`ve read a lot of posts about gurgling stomachs, & the anxiety that they cause, & I`m wondering if anyone posting is taking laxatives like Lactulose. Lactulose is a medicine that works by bringing water into the bowel, & if someone takes it, it can cause strange symptoms like gas & diarhrea, making someone worry that they have noro or some other bug. I was prescribed it not so long ago, & the side effects can be really embarrassing, but harmless.
