Borborygmi: Dyspepsia is the medical term for symptom commonly described by patients as indigestion. Dys- essentially means bad or abnormal. Pepsia- digestion. Dyspepsia and indigestion are not very accurate description of what is going on as most people with this symptom are digesting food normally. The term for rumbling of stomach is borborygmi. There are many possible causes. See a health care professional.
