You're constipated. Constipation can occur when not eating enough fiber-rich whole grains, fruits, and veggies, which stimulate digestion. Adults need between 25 and 30 grams of fiber a day, says Dr. Lee. Best foods: High-fiber whole grain breads, nuts, beans, prunes, oatmeal, flaxseed, broccoli, pears, and apples.
A stomach rumble, also known as a bowel sound or peristaltic sound, is a rumbling, growling or gurgling noise produced by movement of the contents of the gastro-intestinal tract as they are propelled through the small intestine by a series of muscle contractions called peristalsis.
Abdominal sounds may either be classified as hypoactive or hyperactive. Hypoactive, or reduced, bowel sounds often indicate that intestinal activity has slowed down. On the other hand, hyperactive bowel sounds are louder sounds that can be heard by others. They often occur after eating or when you have diarrhea.
