why does your stomach rumble?
156729
Taken from a website for kids:\n\nif your stomach makes noises, that means things are working well down there. The stomach naturally churns about, and is full of gastric juices to help aid digestion. If your tummy is grumbling, that's probably because you swallowed some air along with your food! This is perfectly fine, and in fact helps the food slosh around so it can be digested faster. Sometimes your stomach growls when it's upset -- in that case you should ask your parent or teacher for some tummy medicine.

Your fingers shrink in water because the skin becomes saturated with the water molecules.\n\nThe belly button smells because it is a region of the body that becomes very moist (sweat) and warm (enclosed area). These are the perfect place for bacteria to grow and feed, hence, why it smells.\n\nThe stomach rumbles because of the digestive process. When we have food in our stomach, it is "churned" to mix the food with various acids and chemicals in the stomach and is then released into the intestines. When our stomach is rumbling, this is either due to trapped air leaving the stomach, or because of the lack of food - the stomach is trying to churn with nothing in it!\n\nYour excrement is brown because it is the remains of the food and water that your body takes all. All the nutrients and water has been removed from it leaving the 'solid' block. As a point of interest, it is sticky because of the bile used to emulsify the fats!\n\nHope that helps,\n\nTom Walvin\nBiologist

Movement of the stomach and the intestines causes shifting of air in a cylindrical space containing organ. Thus the growling sound.

When you hiccup, your diaphragm involuntarily contracts. (The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdomen. It plays an extremely important role in breathing.) This contraction of the diaphragm then causes an immediate and brief closure of the vocal cords, which produces the characteristic sound of a hiccup. \nWhat actually causes the hiccup is difficult to say -- in most instances, there is no obvious cause. Attacks of the hiccups seem to be associated with a few different things: eating or drinking too fast; being nervous or excited; and, having irritation in the stomach and/or throat. In some extremely rare cases, the underlying cause of hiccups can be pleurisy (inflammation of the membrane lining of the lungs and chest cavity), pneumonia, certain disorders of the stomach or esophagus, pancreatitis, alcoholism, and hepatitis. Any one of these conditions can cause irritation of the diaphragm or of the phrenic nerves that supply the diaphragm -- it's the irritation that causes the hiccups.

Because a lot of your blood is being moved to your stomach and intestines to digest your food.  Perhaps you have low blood volume or poor circulation.  You might want to see a doctor.

its because when you cough, you stress your diaphragm muscle, which in turn pulls on the other muscles in your lower abdomen,

As you move your joints you can cause a vaccuum to form in the fluid between the bones. This creates a bubble and when it pops you hear the cracking noise.\nThe cartliage rubbing together on the end of the bones is also a noisy affair.

I believe you already know the culprit. Stress can do some weird sometimes inexplicable, things to our bodies. Our stomach and bowels are not immune to this. It can produce painful flactuance and cramping among other symptoms. Next time try laying on your belly (if able to do so) or rubbing stomach area in a circular motion, if the pain nasuea and dizzyness persist, tell your doctor right away. Of course do what ever it takes to reduce your stress level. Eat a healthy diet, drink enough water, get enough sleep and exercise. If you are able to, go get a relaxation massage, many spa's offer delightful essential oils, and this treatment can be so beneficial to the mind and body. Take care of yourself, GOOD LUCK.

Hiccups occur when a spasm contracts the diaphragm, a large sheet of muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. This spasm causes an intake of breath that is suddenly stopped by the closure of the vocal cords (glottis). This closure causes the characteristic "hiccup" sound. A very full stomach can cause bouts of hiccups that go away on their own. Full stomach can be caused by: eating too much too fast, drinking too much alcohol, swallowing too much air, smoking, sudden change in stomach temperature, such as drinking a hot beverage and then a cold beverage, and emotional stress or excitement. Hiccups that last longer than 48 hours are called persistent hiccups. Hiccups that last longer than a month are called intractable hiccups.  Both persistent and intractable hiccups may be a sign of a more serious health problem and require an exam by a health professional. There really is no way to prevent them.

Borborygmus\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nBorborygmus (plural borborygmi) (from Greek βορβορυγμος) is the rumbling sound produced by the movement of gas through the intestines of animals. The word borborygmus is an actual onomatopoeia for this rumbling.\n\nThe "rumble" or "growl" sometimes heard from the stomach is a normal part of digestion. It originates in the stomach or upper part of the small intestine as muscles contract to move food and digestive juices down the gastrointestinal tract.\n\nAlthough this muscle contraction happens whether or not food is present, rumbles are more common after the animal has gone several hours without eating. This may be why a "growling" stomach is often associated with hunger.\n\nRumbles may also occur when there is incomplete digestion of food that can lead to excess gas in the intestine. In humans this can be due to incomplete digestion of carbohydrate-containing foods including milk and other dairy products (lactose intolerance or the use of α-glucosidase inhibitors by diabetics), gluten (protein in wheat, barley, and rye) (celiac disease), fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, and high-fiber whole grains. In rare instances excessive abdominal noise may be a sign of digestive disease, especially when accompanied by abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation.

no, that answer isn't right.  It has to do with weaker stomach muscles when you are born, at least that is what my OBGYN told me.
