Re: Interesting Article: Stomach gurgling noises

[Guest guest]

Ever since I had surgery, my loud gurgling has been drastically reduced. It was

my stricture that was causing most of the noise.

> Gurgling sounds are actually the result of air and liquid in your bowels,

which move about by the contractions of your intestines. This is medically known

as peristalsis. The sounds can be heard with a stethoscope over your abdomen and

often, they are loud enough to be audible to people near you.

(large intestine) and may be accentuated before a bowel movement.

> That gurgling noise is actually a good thing! If your abdomen is totally

silent most of the time, it may be an indicator of constipation.
