How does stomach create noises?
In: Biology
When your intestines process food, your abdomen may grumble or growl. The walls of the gastrointestinal tract are mostly made up of muscle. When you eat, the walls contract to mix and squeeze the food through your intestines so it can be digested. This process is called peristalsis. One common problem that many people don’t even realize, which is swallowing air. You can swallow a lot of air into the esophagus and the stomach by eating too quickly or talking while eating, and that can cause belching, bloating or rumbling. You can minimize this by eating more slowly and not talking or exercising while chewing.
