Grumbling appendix usually appears as having appendicitis-like symptoms but with no tests that prove it. (ie. you do not have an elevated white blood cell count, CT or ultrasound tests are negative).

The pain feels like a knife stabbing, on the lower right side of your belly button. It gets worse about 1 hour after eating, and better about 3-4 hours after eating.

You also may have several weeks with no symptoms and then they come back with full avengence.

Foods that are high in fibre, such as foods that have high levels of gluten in them, will make the pain come, while gluten free food tends to make things feel better. Lactose can also irritate a grumbling appendix as well.

Treatment is difficult, since surgery is not typical unless they can confirm appendicitis by visualizing a swollen appendix or by an increased white blood cell count and fever.

The real cure is to have investigative laproscopic surgery, whereby the appendix will appear slightly more red than typical, and much more firm to touch. It is NOT swollen, which is why it does not show up on the tests.
