Stomach growling

Have you ever thought about why your stomach growling? This happens to everyone. Let us understand the intriguing science behind those growling noises. Tap to see!

Cleaning Process of the Gut

Your digestive system features a natural cleaning process known as the migrating motor complex (MMC), which acts like a wave that moves through to ensure everything keeps flowing.

Signals of Hunger

When your stomach is devoid of food, it contracts and rumbles to indicate that it’s time to eat. This is your body's method of communicating its hunger.

Digestive Gases

As food is broken down in your stomach, gases such as nitrogen and oxygen are produced, leading to those recognisable rumbling sounds.

Movement of the Gut

The muscles in your stomach and intestines contract and relax to push food through your digestive tract. This action can result in audible growls and rumblings.

Maintain a Healthy Gut

To support effective digestion, try to eat at regular intervals, keep hydrated, and manage stress levels.
