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 digestive system causes stomach sounds, known as Borborygmi, when air or fluid is moving around the small and large intestines. During a process called peristalsis, stomach muscles and the small intestine contract and move contents forward in the gastrointestinal tract. âThese sounds occur both when the stomach is full and when it is empty.â Dr. Shawn Khodadadian, a gastroenterologist in New York City, told FoxNews.com.
