A: The growling is almost certainly normal and is the result of peristalsis. Peristalsis is coordinated rhythmic contractions of the stomach and intestines that move food and waste. It occurs all of the time, whether or not you are hungry.

My stomach makes the loudest and strangest gurgling noises all the time— even when Im not hungry! A noisy abdomen does not necessarily mean you are hungry. The digestive system causes stomach sounds, known as Borborygmi, when air or fluid is moving around the small and large intestines.

Furthermore, why does my stomach make gurgling noises all the time? The abdominal sounds you hear are most likely related to the movement of food, liquids, digestive juices, and air through your intestines. When your intestines process food, your abdomen may grumble or growl. Hunger can also cause abdominal sounds.

Why is my stomach making noise?

When people hear their stomachs make noise, most of what they hear is gas and intestinal motility, the normal movement of the intestines. Even when youre not eating, your gut is moving. Another cause of stomach noise is air produced in the intestinal tract, which is most often due to poor absorption of nutrients.
