I am 10 months out and my stomach constantly rumbles, no matter what I eat or drink. I have been told that is normal. It gets kind of loud sometimes, thus embarassing, but that is all part of it. Just don't try what I did. I thought it was a sign of hunger and tried to eat just one more bite. Bad mistake. Made me throw up.

I'm 4 months out and mine constantly rumbles. I asked my friend from my support group and she is 1.5 years out and hers does too.

I am 15 months out and it rumbles still. I think its the norm for us. I have always said my stomach has a mind of its own! lol It's embarrassing when it grumbles in support group..where its usually quite quiet...and we all laugh. Best of luck! hugs,kim

My pouch gets a rumble too, I can't do anyting about it and people close to me hear it as well. It sounds just like a huge bubble that blurps up in a water cooler. It is so funny and I get alot of laughs when it does the big blurp! It doesn't bother me at all.

Yes, this is normal. I don't know why it does it. Maybe the route the liquids go, the openings are much smaller so that could be. It is nothing to worry about.
