Most of the sounds you hear in your stomach and intestines are due to normal digestion. They are not a cause for concern. Many conditions can cause hyperactive or hypoactive bowel sounds. Most are harmless and do not need to be treated.
Hyperactive: more than 30 bowel sounds per minute. Again, you will only need to listen for a couple seconds in order to estimate this frequency. These sounds indicate that intestinal activity is quicker than normal.
Common symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Bloating and swollen abdomen. An urgent need to go to the toilet. A feeling of incomplete bowel evacuation. Gurgling stomach noises.
Increased stomach gurgling or bowel sounds are also reported frequently by people with IBS.
