Why do stomaches growl?!
Question:
Why do stomaches growl?
My stomach always makes noise, even after I have eaten. What the heck is going on in there? Can I do anything to make it stop?
Answers:
Think of your stomach as a cement mixer. Its a muscular bag that contracts and dilates to mix the contents of the stomach, so that the acid can digest everything. This movement creates noise much like water sloshing around in a waterbottle.
The growling results often when your stomach is empty. It's your stomach shifting around. This is your brain intentionally starting an uncomfortable movement, attempting to alert you that you need to put something in it!
