When you worry your : Sympathetic nervous system gets overstimulated, and this creates a situation where your G.I. tract is under stress, in a fight or flight mode. This can also lead to almost having a panic attack. So it's important to reduce your stress level, relax, take a deep breath, and let your G.I. tract relax too.

Or is normal: To hear gurgling min the abdominal area when there is a lot of movement. Meals can stimulate the motion. Needing to have a bowel movement can cause it and stress can cause it too. It can just be part of normal digestion but usually is not loud or painful but you might feel it
