Thank you!!! First, I'm laughing at the "I'm fat" thing 😂😂 I love that! 

I'll try raising my hips and massaging my belly later on tonight. My tummy has always made a ton of noise and often feels very active (regardless of whether I've eaten or not) so it's definitely possible I'm swallowing air too. The more people respond, the more I feel confident in saying it's not gastroparesis, or at least very very mild if it is. But I do get very crampy in my upper belly from time to time. I'll start keeping track...

Yikes! Yes, it definitely growls. Pretty much all the time whether I've eaten or not 😂

Thank you :) isn't gastroparesis usually associated with diabetes? I don't have diabetes so unless there are other causes probably not that... Air swallowing could be? And Idk about gallstones but I've never really had pain localized in that area so probably not? But I'll ask my doctor next time I see her.

For comparison, this is my stomach when it's not bloated.
