    What is the stomach actually doing when it rumbles?

    Question #47558. Asked by gmackematix. (May 17 04 7:10 PM)

    		The term is called "borborygmi". When the tummy rumbles it is the gurgling and bubbling of air pockets and fluid moving through your intestine. These noises occur when one is hungry because the body is readying itself to receive food by moving air and fluids in the stomach and intestine out of the way.
