Hearing your stomach growl is completely normal and is caused by the movement of gas through the intestines. This is often referred to as “Borborygmus”. These noises become more pronounced when the stomach is empty or when digestion is slow. It is important to note that, while these sounds can be audible to the individual, they are not usually loud enough to be heard by others unless there is a significant issue in the digestive tract. If the gurgling sounds are persistent and accompanied by pain, you should consult a healthcare professional.
