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.
The name comes from the Latin for to speak from the stomach, i.e. venter (belly) and loqui (speak). The Greeks called this gastromancy (Greek: ÎµÎ³Î³Î±ÏÏÏÎ¹Î¼ÏÎ¸Î¯Î±). The noises produced by the stomach were thought to be the voices of the unliving, who took up residence in the stomach of the ventriloquist.
