Other foods that can cause intestinal noise are fructose, a sugar that can be difficult to absorb, and artificial sweeteners, such as those in sugarless gum or in diet sodas. They contain sugar alcohols that can be difficult for our intestines to absorb; bacteria in the intestines break it down and liberate gas as a byproduct. Many of my patients have cut down on artificial sweeteners, and that has helped to eliminate the problem. However, there are situations where a serious problem could be present if stomach growling is accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
In those cases, you should see a doctor. Can probiotics keep my gastrointestinal system healthy? Claire Jan 22, Brandon Mar 14, Hi did you like the quest I did that's for sure.

Jul 29, To tell you the truth, I don't think my stomach growls, what it does is and it might sound a little crazy, but it sends up my throat some pain, then for a while my stomach starts to hurt too, and if I'm with some food, my heart doesn't feel good, but I live through it, and it's fine by me.

And it often has to do more with the digestion of food we already ate, than it does with our need for a new snack. The easiest way to think of the digestive system is that it begins with your mouth.
The etymology of the term relies on onomatopoeia; it is an attempt to put the rumbling sound into words. Borborygmi actually translates as "rumbling. In general, the gastrointestinal tract is a hollow tube that runs from mouth to anus and its walls are primarily composed of layers of smooth muscle.
When the walls are activated and squeeze the tract's contents to mix and propel food, gas and fluids through the stomach and small intestines, it generates a rumbling noise. This squeezing of the muscular walls is termed peristalsis and involves a ring of contraction moving aborally away from the oral cavity towards the anus a few inches at a time. The generation of these waves of peristalsis results from a rhythmic fluctuation of electrical potential in the smooth muscle cells, which, all other conditions being appropriate, will cause the muscle to contract.
This fluctuation is called the basic electrical rhythm BER and is a result of inherent activity of the enteric nervous system, which is found in the walls of the gut. The BER causes the muscle cells of the stomach and small intestines to activate at a regular rhythm three and 12 times per minute, respectively , in a manner similar to, but slower than, the rhythmicity of cardiac muscle in the heart.
The autonomic nervous system and hormonal factors can modulate this BER. Though the rate and force of peristalsis typically increases in the presence of food, activity also increases after the stomach and small intestines have been empty for approximately two hours.
