warum gluckert der bauch — what can you do yourself?

Stomach gurgling (borborygmi) is usually caused by normal digestive movements: air and fluid are pushed through the intestines by peristalsis. In most cases it is harmless. Self-help: eat slowly, chew thoroughly, avoid carbonated drinks and gas-producing foods (beans, cabbage, onions). Stress reduction and regular exercise can also calm digestion. If accompanied by pain, diarrhea, or constipation, consult a doctor to rule out conditions like food intolerances or irritable bowel syndrome. Evidence for these measures is based on physiological principles and clinical experience, not large trials. A home celiac test (anti-tTG IgA) can give a preliminary indication but does not replace medical diagnosis. Consumer tests have limited accuracy.
