Why Does Your Stomach Rumble When Hungry? The Science Behind Borborygmi Revealed!

• The rumbling sound from your stomach, scientifically called 'Borborygmi', originates from the small and large intestines, not just the stomach.
• It's caused by 'peristalsis' – muscle contractions pushing air and digestive juices through an empty digestive tract, similar to rattling in an empty box.
• When hungry, the brain activates the 'Migrating Motor Complex' (MMC), a 'cleaning mode' where stomach muscles rapidly clear out leftovers, causing the sound.
• Other factors like swallowing too much air, incomplete digestion, or diarrhea can also contribute to stomach rumbling.
• To reduce the sound, drink water, eat slowly, and maintain regular meal times; it's a sign of a healthy, functioning digestive system.
