Hi doctor, My stomach makes a lot of loud noises even though I am not hungry. I have anemia and when I started to take Ferrous sulfate, my stomach noises begin again. I remember that eventually, I started to feel pain along with it. So my doctor adviced me to stop taking the medicine for a month until my stomach calms down and start taking the tablets again. I also switched to Ferrous fumarate but that does not help. I began taking the tablets again, at first I felt pain which eventually disappeared although the noises are back again and it is getting worse. It is also bothering me because it is loud especially when I am in the middle of the lecture in the university. Please help me.
Hi. Some people do have rumbling noise in the tummy. Is there any associated nausea or vomiting or abdominal distension? Have you lost weight? How is your appetite? You have not mentioned the reason for your taking Ferrous fumarate? What was the cause of your anemia? Was these cause related to any problem in your abdomen or intestines? Have you had any surgeries in the abdomen? If you are continuing to have symptoms and you think it is related to taking Ferrous fumarate, you can substitute it with parenteral Iron infusion, but that would need a new prescription and visit to the day-care hospital or GP surgery on regular intervals till your body iron stores are stable. If you have copies of any previous tests, please upload. It would be informative to guide me in giving a comprehensive opinion.
