is constant stomach grumbling a symptom of anything other than hunger?

Answer 1

If you eat foods that irritate the linings of your stomach or intestines, that will cause more movements and rumblings. High fiber foods too. Or gas causing foods. Or even dairy if you have any lactose intolerance. Look at your diet and try to identify the culprit by eliminating each suspect food for a few days.

Answer 2

Constant hunger, headaches, and lethargy often indicate diabetes (high blood sugar is the result) or hypoglycemia, which is low blood sugar. Hypoglycemia is usually a symptom of something else, like problems with your thyroid, liver, or pancreas. Both can cause muscle tension that won't go away, so maybe that feels like itching all over to you. However, itching and hypoglycemia can be caused by a food allergy. You can develop a food allergy even after you have eaten the food for years. Regardless, you need to make an appointment with your doctor and tell him/her what is going on. The doc will examine you, take a history, ask questions about your symptoms, and order bloodwork to start. Don't put it off because your symptoms could be signs of a serious disorder. Good luck.

Answer 3

When food is present in the stomach, peristaltic or wavelike, muscle contractions sweep through the walls of the stomach and help to mix food with gastric juices. However, another kind of intense muscle contraction, called hunger contractions, occur when the stomach has been empty for several hours. Hunger contractions are peristaltic contractions, mainly restricted to the body of the stomach. They can often be particularly strong, resulting in a contraction that lasts for two to three minutes! Hunger contractions are usually most intense in young people, who often have a higher degree of gastrointestinal "muscle tone" than older people. In addition, these contractions are increased by a low level of glucose in the blood, which usually occurs when an individual has not eaten for several hours.
Not all 'grumbling' is a result of hunger - just noises the stomach makes.

Answer 4

IBS or acid reflux also known as gerd. You may also be lactose intolerant and should take enzymes when you eat any milk product like yogurt or cheese. They are easily found under dairy and/or beano for problems digesting vegetables. I started with these noises that lasted even when I wasn't hungry. Nervous stomach can also be a cause. When you are upset, your stomach gets upset. Mylanta is great to start with but then you may need to take some things out of your diet.
