Why do our stomachs sometimes rumble?
When we haven’t eaten for a while, our stomach is nearly empty, containing only gastric juices and swallowed air. The normally quiet and slow movements of the stomach walls become stronger, causing a gurgling sound known as hunger contractions. These sounds stop once we eat. Similarly, our intestines can make noises when they move food and gas along their length. These sounds are normal and occur as part of the digestive process, helping to move the food through the digestive tract and break it down for absorption. Eating regularly can help reduce these noises and keep our digestive system working smoothly.
