Interesting Digestion Post

Stomach rumbling can happen at any time, not just when you're hungry.

Borborygmi, or stomach rumblings, happens when peristalsis in the stomach and small intestines, happens when digestion of food, fluid and gases pass through the gastrointestinal tract. When the tract is empty, Borborygmi are louder because there's nothing in there to prevent the sound.
I question is why are your muscles making noises there's no food in the stomach?
After the stomach empties its contents into the small intestine, it sends signals to the brain. The brain tells the digestive muscles to commence peristalsis. The muscle contractions to make sure no food was left in the stomach, and then the growls signal to you that your body needs food.
