Why does our stomach growl when we are hungry?!
Question: "It happens when your stomach walls squeeze together in an attempt to mix and digest food and there's no food there. Gases and digestive juices slosh around in your empty stomach and before you know it - borborygmi."

Stomach gasses.
because you are hungry i guess
Its producing digestive fluids in hopes you'll get the hint and eat.
stomache acids down there have no food to break down so they bubble :D
So you'll finally listen to it and eat summat!
stomach acids, you think about food your stomach secreets acid
Because the stomach is trying to tell you something. Feed me. LOL
There are a tremendous amount of stomach acids flowing all throughout your stomach and the need for food to be broken down is really necessary in order to quieten down a growling stomach. Do you blame him? . . .
I once did a story that had to do with knowing when to burp a baby. I used my son, Aaron, as a prop. You shake the kid, which is not a good idea, but if you shake a child and hear gurgling noises, they need to be burped.
Here is another example: If you take a quart of milk in a plastic container and you shake it and it?s full, it?s not very loud. But if you pour out half of the milk and shake it, it?s very loud. This is because the air interface would be liquid, and this allows the liquid to make a lot of noise. If you shake a bottle that?s completely full, you don?t hear any noise at all. So if your intestines were completely full of liquid and matter, and the stomach and intestines were doing their jobs, you really wouldn?t hear very much at all.
You have long intestines, and anything you?ve eaten in the last 24 hours, or even longer, could be in those intestines. So what you had to eat, how much air you swallowed, and when you ate is probably the critical factor. A lot of carbonated beverages or beer and swallowing air and things like that would add a lot of air to your intestines, along with the food. The gurgling sound comes from that.
That does not mean that there aren?t diseases that would cause this. There are a few diseases that will increase this, but I think you would have a sore tummy, you?d be sick, or you?d know something was up. The medical word for this is borborygmi; it?s the sound that you intestines make.
