Borborygmus
Noises (borborygmi) that originate from the stomach have a variety of causes. The stomach will make noises when the brain is stimulated by the smell, sight or thought of food. This stimulus causes a signal to be sent to the stomach to prepare it to begin digestion. The stomach muscles start to contract and digestive fluids are released. All this activity can cause the gurgling and rumbling noises. Stomach growling can also occur after eating while the muscles are contracting and are moving food and digestive juices down the gastrointestinal tract. Disease can also cause stomach noise.Mayo Clinic: Stomach noise: What makes my stomach growl Health and Age: Borborygmi and Apple Juice (November 7, 2005) MedicineNet: BorborygmusStomach Health
There are several factors that can impact the health of the stomach such as diet, exercise, water intake, fatigue and stress.Mayo Clinic: Nonulcer Stomach Pain: Prevention National Cancer Institute: Stomach (Gastric) Cancer Prevention MedicineNet: Health Tip: Prevent Stomach PainStomach Diseases
