Hello, I've been suffering from duodenal ulcer for years. Why is there such severe gurgling sound in my stomach? I've been continuously taking Motilium, but still have poor digestion. It has troubled me for years—what can I do to fully recover?

The gurgling sound in the stomach associated with duodenal ulcer may be caused by decreased gastric digestive function due to irregular eating habits, leading to gastric bloating. If you now hear a cuckoo-like noise in your abdomen, this is a typical symptom of prolonged intestinal sounds, which is related to reduced intestinal function; symptoms of duodenal ulcer may also cause such bowel noises. It is recommended to take amoxicillin, omeprazole, and colloidal bismuth subcitrate for treatment, quit smoking and alcohol, follow a light diet, avoid spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods, and prevent gastric irritation.
