I have had the issue of my stomach making noises in meetings and it causes me anxiety. It's not all the time. Just like once every now and then. However, I'll sit in meetings sometimes scared that it's going to happen. I wanted to see if others have this happen and if they just ignore it or get nervous about it as well? Do you judge other people whose stomachs make noises during meetings? Like they are gross or something? This is kind of my fear. Like people think I'm gross. Also, are there things you can do to prevent this from happening? Sorry, this is a weird question, but it's something I want to figure out and wanted to get some folks opinion. On a side note, I don't really have this issue in interviews. I think I'm so focused on performing well that I don't think about it. I do wonder if a solution would be to try and focus on the purpose of the meetings I'm in.
This happens when your stomach is empty
If I eat a big meal, it'll make noises too. It'll also happen for me if I'm holding in gas.
Don’t eat a big meal but eat light snack consistently. I carry my nuts around to meetings
No but your butt does
You can walk, jog or run for some time in the am (20+ minutes, if possible). That should help.
mine does. i stopped caring about it though. dont address it, assert dominance
Allow your stomach to shush the dissent. Then you can fire your boss and rise the ranks!
Stop drinking milk and see the difference. Most humans have varying levels of lactose intolerance and it manifests itself in noise bellies among other things.
If it’s really loud it’ll get commented on in a funny, human way, but no one actually cares.
One of my coworkers let out a huge fart in the middle of my presentation, was awkward as hell, but stomach noises is meh.
Everyone’s embarrassed and no one acknowledges
Go keto.
I don’t think I have ever heard someones stomach grumble at work or in my life for that matter.
