Stomach popping!

Hi I've had this for about 4 years now and it's slowly driving me bonkers Confused
I get it mostly in my stomach and lower abdomen but also get it randomly around my body and it's like a popping sensation but I also get little pokes like something pushing. I've googled it over the years but no one ever has an answer and I wondered if anyone had ever been to the doctors with it? I once mentioned it to a nurse who looked at me like I was crazy so it's stopped me going to the doctors!
I think I might have a mild ibs, I get bloated easily and have on and off upset stomach or constipation. Also I've had 2 c sections so not sure if it's related to that.
Someone please tell me I'm not the only one Grin

You're definitely not the only one - it's probably trapped wind.

I also experience something similar. Especially when lying down on my back. It feels like air bubble moving around my stomach. Sometimes I can actually see an air bubble and when I press the bubble it disappears. I also have mentioned it to the doctor but she couldn't
feel anything abnormal in my stomach. It also seems to happen more in the evening...

If it's trapped wind would it be so constant and is there something I can do to untrap and stop it???

Eat less sugar and refined carbs. Eat little and often rather than having a big dinner. Take a probiotic, but in very small doses to start.

Take regular exercise.
