How often does your stomach rumble?

[Hearmenow23]

A bit random, but mine rumbled yesterday and it made me think that this hardly ever happens- like a few times a year. I am overweight, so I guess that's because it's always full?? Or it's not empty.

Should I be waiting for it to rumble before I eat?? Is this the key to weight loss for me?? Do others experience theirs rumbling throughout the day??

OK, so now I feel more weird 😁

Mine mostly rumbles before breakfast. I sort of do intermittent fasting so it won’t have had a food in it for about 15 hours by then. It’s not every day though, and I’m not sure to what extent rumbles are the result of an empty stomach.

Mine rumbles after I eat which is hugely embarrassing as it’s clearly not hunger but gas

It is quite a strange idea, that your stomach rumbling is the ideal state for an overweight person. If you are trying to lose weight you really shouldn't let your hunger get to that stage. If you are getting there you can usually halt that by improving the quality of your diet rather than the quantity. The idea that you don't deserve food because you are fat is dehumanising - every human needs to eat and fat people are human too, not inhuman or subhuman.

If my stomach rumbles I haven't had enough to eat and will get stomach problems later in the day. It doesn't often happen since I started weightlifting - something to do with ghrelin? Other reasons are I had antibiotics recently or I have a stomach bug.

Honestly I sense some internalised fat hatred here.

Very rarely for a hunger rumble, it just aches if I’m hungry.

If I eat bread/gluten it won’t shut up for hours. I assume that’s some sort of intolerance but I have no other symptoms so never perused it!

100%

I suppose what I mean is, I eat for every reason other than hunger and wondered if my stomach rumbling would be a good indicator that its time to eat??

My stomach rumbles if I'm anxious, if I'm hungry, if I've just eaten, if I've got a stomach bug, if I've got trapped wind, the list goes on.

Basically I don't think tummy rumbles indicate hunger 😀

Whenever it shouldn’t. Had a 90 minute facial yesterday and it rumbled throughout.

Do you know the different levels of feeling hunger? Do you feel hungry when it rumbled?

I do stop eating when I feel full. But the feeling full thing is governed by the hormone grelin (sp?). And some people don't produce a regular amount of it.

I've never really thought about this until now but my stomach always used to rumble when I was hungry, but it doesn't now and I've no idea why?

It just feels empty now but it doesn't make any noise.

Mine doesn't often rumble but for some weird reason , I get hiccups instead when I'm hungry.

Mine definitely rumbles when hungry. If I get to 10.30 am and not yet eaten breakfast it will rumble and I'll be hungry. I just wondered if I should wait for the rumble before I eat each meal. I know this sounds ridiculous. I think I do need to relearn what hunger feels like.

My whole life I've had a loud stomach that rumbles and growls a lot! It's very embarrassing. It rumbles when hungry, it rumbles when it's digesting food. I dread work meetings because it's so noisy.

Mines a little chatterbox & just rumbles a lot. No particular reason & so I ignore it. I tend not to notice but family think it's hilarious.

Oh gosh yes, me too. Meetings, exams, lectures, funerals etc Basically any situation where a bit of quiet is required & it's off.

I think basically yes. Listen to your body. So much over eating is what I call "head stuff". It's only when you can deal with the head stuff, or come to terms with it, that you can get back to eating to your hunger. And keying into this hunger can help with this.
It's worth a try
