Bowel gurgling

I’ve had alternating diarrhoea and constipation for the past 25 days. Started out as nothing but diarrhoea for the intitial 7 days and then trended towards constipation. I’m scheduled for a colonoscopy in 4 days, so I’m not looking for medical advice, just anyone with a similar experience or information. One thing that has been a constant throughout this ordeal are loud bowel noises (gurgling, whining, etc) that seem to be most active late-night into the early morning. It’s still happening during the day but seems to be hyperactive during these overnight hours. Has anyone experienced this and if so what was the resolution? Any help is appreciated. 

  • Do you feel this everyday and mainly when lying is when it effects me the most ? I am going to the toilet but an straining when i go it isnt as loose as it used to be. I have also been going though massive amounts of stress with home issues but cannot remember why or when this started.  

    Ive had bloods 5 times, 3 stool tests, abdominal ultrasound, chest xray and awaiting results of a CT scan. 

    Im scared to death of having a colonscopy as im not sure if your from the uk but you cannot be fully asleep which is keeping me awake at night. How did yours go ? 

  • Hi everyone l, I've been suffering with gurgling noises just coming from my left side and also some left flank pain. No issues with the bowel movements. 
    I've had an ultrasound which was clear and now 2 ct scans which I am waiting for the results of. I am worrying myself sick.
