Why is my stomach always growling?
I eat constantly because my stomach growls all the time, but I eat little things when it does, like for example one string cheese and four strawberrys. I wake up in the morning and eat a good breakfast like a bowl of cereal a yogurt and a granola bar, then and hour or sometimes 30 minutes later my stomach growls and I get hungry again, so I get up and grab something small like berrys an apple or granola bar or something and 20 minutes later it's still growling and I hate it because I can't just relax and do my homework, I wait til lunch to eat, but my body constantly wants to eat, I eat a good amount of food I don't starve myself so what's going on do you think? Oh ya I don't eat wheat foods I usually go days without wheat but sometimes I do eat it if my mother decides to make dinner or I got out to eat or a birthday, but I still eat well and enough carbs from oatmeal, whole grain foods, fruit, ect. anything but wheat (cause i'm trying to lose some weight) Btw I turned 15, five days ago and i'm 5'5, 150 pounds.
WHY does my stomach always growl?
It's humiliating. It always growls. Before I eat, after I eat.. it growls in the morning, afternoon, and at night. It growls EVERY SINGLE TIME I'm trying to lay down with my boyfriend and it's humiliating and I hate it. I eat enough, trust me. My dad says he has a noisy stomach but I can't see how this could be genetic. What can I do? I'll do anything to make my stomach stop growling all the time. Everytime I feel awkward, it growls. Everytime I'm uncomfortable, it growls. I can't possibly digesting food all day long, so why does it always growl?
Why does my stomach growl, even after a good size lunch? Also, question about meal replacement shakes.?
Food loaded with sugar and/or empty carbohydrates will do that to you. Gradually eliminate sugar and junk food from your eating plan. (Don't do it all at once or your body will go into shock, you will start craving, and be back where you started). What exactly are you eating...it would help to answer the question better? If you update your question or send me email I'll provide more detail. Here's my recommendation: First of all, drink lots of water. Whenever you think you're hungry drink a glass of water first. The human body often confuses thirst for hunger. Second, there is nothing wrong with eating all the time...the main problem may be what you're eating. If you're eating junk or sugar your body is not getting the nutrution it needs so it may continue to send out hunger 'signals'. Also, when you eat a lot of sugar your body becomes used to it and thinks it needs to refuel to keep going. You lose the energy and need more sugar to 'spike' your energy again. You can (and should) eat 5-6 semi-small nutritious meals. Don't load up with 'tons' of food at one meal You can try eating various things: fresh fruit, chicken, brown rice, broccoli, beef jerky, whey protein shakes, applesauce (no sugar added), veggies, lean ground turkey, turkey sausages, Low sugar protein bars (or try Kashi bars). You should try Odwalla bars for a treat (the choco. chip ones are fabulous and have 8 grams of protein). The most filling foods that are good for you are generally lean protein (i.e. chicken, lean turkey/fish, whey protein shakes) or oatmeal. If you eat ~7 a.m. ~10 a.m. 1p.m. 4 p.m. 7p.m. (and 10 p.m. if you're up late you should be great. Get your excercise/workout in b/w any of those meals (or directly prior) Lastly...the high protein meal replacement shakes will help (just make sure there is little/no sugar). I can give you tips on how to make great tasting whey protein shakes yourself.
Why does my stomach growl after I eat?
It could just be digesting the food.
Why does my stomach growl even after I eat?
Everything from your throat to your anus is muscle and it contracts and squeezes and makes noise as it processes the food you eat. Bile, acid, enzymes, etc. are dumped into the stomach and squirted into the intestines and the liquid, the contractions, the food getting churned into chyme, and the gasses created from all that make growling and gurgling sounds and there is nothing you can do to prevent it nor should you try. What you should do is work on getting over being embarrassed by such normal and common sounds. After all, everyone else does it too. One thing you can try is sucking in your abdomen when the sounds are especially loud. If that doesn't help, release the contraction and suck it in again. Sometimes that can reduce the noise, help distribute the gas bubbles, etc. Good luck and good health!! ♠
Do anorexics' stomachs always growl?
Mine almost never growls. But I almost never feel hungry. When I feel it, sometimes I'll eat, sometimes I'll just enjoy the cold feeling in my stomach until someone is around to eat with me. It might growl once a month, if that. Before my anorexia came back, my stomach used to growl like crazy, super embarrassing! But without the growl, or at least the aversion to your stomach feeling cold and empty, it’s difficult: having to force yourself to eat because you know it's been two days and if you go any longer, you'll black out at work again, and if you black out again, they're going to send you back to therapy, or worse the rumors will start up, “So, do you think she's on drugs?” “I heard she's got HIV.” “Linda from book keeping said her cousin Alex said she saw her boyfriend hit her.” “She wears long sleeves to cover track marks, obviously.” “I think she drank out of my cup at the staff meeting, do i look sick to you?“ “Don't eat those donuts, her boyfriend brought them…” “I bet it's meth” …And then you’ll have to quit your job. Just like last time.
Why does my stomach growl a lot and hurt after I eat a burger? I also get gassy.
If you are eating a hot or warm burger ( not spicy hot) assuming the patty is cooked on gas or stovetop and you are also drinking ice cold drink then you may get digestion issues. When hot food is combined with ice cold drink, the digestive system slows down and can give you various symptoms of gas, stomach discomfort, constipation etc too.It is just like when you have a fire burning somewhere and you throw water on top of the fire, then fire start producing smoke, gas and that fire will be useless.Our stomach has digestive fire too. So that the food can be digested. You will see in many cultures people drink hot liquid like tea etc with breakfast, lunch or dinner, sometimes just hot water at the end of the meal. This is to make sure our digestive system can process the food while it is lukewarm in the gut.Our body temperature is generally 37 degrees Celsius or around 97–98 F. The ice cold drink after or during the meal makes the stomach very cold along with food and our body works very hard to first transform this cold drink into body temperature and then it tries to digest it but then body pays the price by producing gas, discomfort etc.If you can start drinking a hot beverage with your food to see the difference you may notice, gas and discomfort disappear.You may argue that a lot of people drink a cold beverage, that is true and they may suffer constipation, overweight and several health issues.You can drink ice cold beverage, 2 hours before or after consuming the meal but not with the meal.

There is a free trial on currently at http://tatisynt.janes.pt , why not try it, what's the worst that could happen?
Should you eat if your stomach growls?
You are likely to find very contradictory answers here.Some people practice intermittent fasting and it works for them. That means going for fairly large periods of time without eating. You could argue that as hunter and gatherers we often faced fasting, so it is something our body has evolved to handle.On the other hand, you can find studies that suggest that skipping breakfast is not that good for you:Symposium overview: Do we all eat breakfast and is it important?The relationship of breakfast skipping and type of breakfast consumption with nutrient intake and weight status in children and adolescents: the Na... - PubMed - NCBIBreakfast skipping is associated with differences in meal patterns, macronutrient intakes and overweight among pre-school children.So yeah, these sort of studies would suggest that something bad can happen to you if you consistently ignore your stomach growls.Is your goal is to lose weight? You don’t need to go hungry at all to lose weight. You can simply eat food that has great satiety and does not provide a lot of calories.For example, vegetables are rich in fiber and low in calories. That means that they fill you up, but they don’t fatten you up. Eat a lot of vegetables, as much as you want, in every meal, and you never have to go hungry.Certain types of fats are also great at satiety, like nuts, avocado, olive oil, coconut. They have lots of calories, but just a little bit can kill hunger for a long time.
Why is my stomach growling but I'm not hungry?
We all know our stomach growls when it's empty. But The muscle contractions that cause that growling are happening all the time—the noise is just louder on an empty stomach.First in common language…The same as why tapping on an empty tin can makes more noise than a full one: food muffles the sound, but a stomach full of nothing but air helps the sound travel.Now in scientific language…Those muscle contractions are a digestive mechanism called peristalsis,Peristalsis happens in every one of digestive organs, just in different lengths and frequencies: in the esophagus, the contractions come in one long wave that lasts about nine seconds; in the small intestine, it happens more randomly, a few inches here, a few feet there, at about 8–10 contractions per minute. Peristalsis in the stomach depends on whether it's full or empty. When it's empty, contractions happen about three times per minute, and usually multiple contractions occur at different places in the stomach. When it's full, those contractions get softer and slower, but don't stop altogether—that food has to leave the stomach eventually, after all. That's another reason you don't hear as much grumbling when you're full.
