Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. That loud sound while swallowing is mostly due to burping and belching office gas from the stomach. This is normal and can be seen in gastritis. But more important thing than this sound is blood in stool. This is known as dysentery and most common cause for this is intestinal infection. Other causes anal piles, anal fissures. Gastric ulcers etc. So better to consult gastroenterologist and get done 1. Upper GIs copy for gastritis and gastric ulcer 2. Anal and rectal examination for piles and fissures. Don't worry, with appropriate treatment, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
