What's happening when my stomach makes rumbling sounds?

In our lives, many people have experienced the phenomenon of intestinal rumbling. Intestinal rumbling is the sound of small rumblings or gurgling sounds in the stomach. Especially when people are hungry, the stomach is very easy to make noises. Sometimes the stomach also makes gurgling sounds during the digestion process. However, if the intestinal rumbling is particularly severe, it means that there is a gastrointestinal disease. So what is the reason for the rumbling sound in the stomach?

Bowel sounds are a symptom of gurgling sounds in the stomach and intestines. Under normal circumstances, bowel sounds are low, weak and gentle, and are generally difficult to hear. When intestinal conduction is abnormal or blocked, the bowel sounds will be high-pitched and frequent. Clinically, the location and nature of the disease are judged based on the location and sound of the noise.

If there is a rumbling sound in the epigastric area like a bag filled with pulp, vibrating with sound, and the sound flows downward when standing or pushing the epigastric area, it is mostly due to water retention in the stomach. If there is a rumbling sound in the epigastric area, like a rumbling sound in the intestines when hungry, which is relieved by warmth or food, but aggravated by hunger and cold, it is due to insufficient Qi in the middle body and cold stomach and intestines. Rumbling sounds in the abdomen, fullness in the abdomen, and loose stools are mostly caused by wind, cold, and dampness, which lead to gastrointestinal qi disorder. Slight rumbling sounds in the abdomen, abdominal distension, and poor appetite are mostly caused by gastrointestinal qi deficiency and weakened conduction function. Bowel sounds completely disappeared.

Try to have a bowel movement every morning. This ensures that the large intestine is unobstructed. This is not enough. Remember, after a big meal at noon every day, you should find a deserted place to lie down and relax (or take a nap) as soon as possible. It will only take about 5 minutes (30 minutes at most). Because when you eat, the mixture of rice and water will enter the small intestine from the stomach. Under pressure, the contents of the small intestine will move toward the large intestine, and through intestinal peristalsis, the gas will be pushed into the large intestine first. Then the bad contents are pushed into the large intestine one by one. If you don't lie down, the cecum may be at the bottom and have high pressure, which will prevent the gas in the small intestine from entering the large intestine smoothly.

Although you may not eat in the morning, remember that lunch is a must, because if you don’t eat, the contents of the small intestine will lose their direction of movement. It may even go back in time to get a detailed digestion of the intestinal segment again. But this backward movement is where problems arise. So avoid it. Eat a full lunch. Another issue is that you should try to drink some soup when eating, because only with enough soup can the stomach contents enter the small intestine smoothly. Moreover, the gas in certain parts of the small intestine can only be expelled by injecting water. Generally, you can drink some boiled water, sugar water or tea around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, which has a similar purpose. You can try these.
