If you are in public and you are emanating any type of digestive sounds repeatedly, you need to do more than ask people for their pardon, you need to actually excuse yourself from the public situation. Return to public only after your problem (or stomach!) is settled. Of course, certain situations make it impossible to get away from people, such as riding a bus or being in an elevator. Ask for pardon the first time. The next time ask again and say something like "I really apologize" so that they understand this is not an issue you can help. Then, don't mention it again, since you will only be adding to their (and your) discomfort with the situation. And, try to hold back or at least keep it as quiet as possible until you can get away.
