What to do if your stomach is growling but your not hungry?
These remedies include:
- Drinking water – water should be drunk slowly at regular intervals throughout the day, rather than in large gulps, which can cause gurgling sounds.
- Eating slowly – chewing slowly can reduce the amount of air swallowed, preventing digestive distress.
What happens if your stomach growls and you don’t eat?
Doctors call this noise “borborygmic,” which means “rumbling” in Greek. Sometimes if you haven’t eaten in a while, your stomach growls possibly because your blood sugar has dropped and the body is signaling that it needs nutrients to recover.
Does stomach growling mean your stomach is empty?
Though stomach growling is commonly heard and associated with hunger and an absence of food in the stomach, it can occur at any time, on an empty or full stomach. Furthermore, growling doesn’t only come from the stomach but, just as often, can be heard coming from the small intestines.
What food gives you gas?
Foods most often linked to intestinal gas include:
- Beans and lentils.
- Asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and other vegetables.
- Fructose, a natural sugar found in artichokes, onions, pears, wheat, and some soft drinks.
- Lactose, the natural sugar found in milk.
How do you settle a gurgling stomach?

- Eat slowly.
- Eat more regularly.
- Chew slowly.
- Limit gas-triggering foods.

What can I eat to make my stomach stop hurting?

What happens to your stomach when you don’t eat?
Stomach: The stomach becomes smaller when a person doesn’t eat so when they start eating again, the stomach will likely feel uncomfortable (stomach aches and/or gas). Also, the stomach will not empty as fast, making a person feel full longer.
Does drinking water relieve gas?
“While it may seem counterintuitive, drinking water may help to reduce bloat by ridding the body of excess sodium,” Fullenweider says. Another tip: Be sure to drink plenty of water before your meal too. This step offers the same bloat-minimizing effect and can also prevent overeating, according to the Mayo Clinic.
