Consider the dialogue you're putting into your mind. Your brain is taking notes and responding accordingly - which is to switch on the fight or flight response.
The more you say, the more this sounds like IBS - especially the gurgling's and noises. At times it's sounded like there's an entire woodwind section playing in my stomach, and sometimes my @rse. Oh yes. Grumbly @rse!
There's an excellent sticky on here re IBS - maybe take a look?
Constantly freaking out over every little ache, pain, or squeak will keep the stress hormones flowing which directly affects the digestive system and which will absolutely keep these symptoms going..
