Borborygmi: Borborygmi. (that term comes from the greek, meaning rumbling around) it may sound like you have some type of disease, but is just the sounds your intestines make.

Question 4

whst causes a womens stomach to. be heavy and hang downward?

Accepted Answer

Avoid simple carbs: The propensity towards stomach fat is inherited.  To keep stomach fat down you need to keep your overall weight down.  There is no way to reduce stomach fat without weight loss. However women who eat more simple carbs such as sugar, white flour, white rice, and pasta are more likely to put fat into the belly. Eat more whole grains with lots of fiber.

Question 5

pain in the middle of stomach after gulping down burger and fries?

Accepted Answer

Chew: First i would recommend chewing your food more carefully to prevent this problem.  There is not much to do to treat the problem but wait and let the body take care of itself.  If you are chewing your food and still getting abdominal pain then i would try adding over the counter food enzymes to assist in digesting your food better and probiotics to replenish colon bacteria and prevent bloating.

Question 9

Being Alive: I do not see any medical or health condition here. You are alive. That means you are digesting foods and fluids. Gas, fluids and digested food can make sounds in the GI tract.

Question 10

what does it mean when i lay down and feel my stomach knot up for a minute and then go away?

Accepted Answer

Stomach knots: To answer this question it is important to distinguish whether the "knot" is in the stomach muscles (do a leg lift lying down to see if it makes it worse) or inside the abdomen, in which case it is mostly likely a cramp in the colon, which may be caused by gas, food, or constipation.
