Borborygmi!: The sounds the gut makes as it works are called borborygmi! A truly great word and should be the refrain of an song! (singular is borborygmus). High fiber diets can cause more noise because they trap more gas (which helps keep us full, too). Also meds and supplements and especially splenda (sucralose) and sorbitol (gummy candies and prune juice) can cause GI symptoms. Gas-X may help. Or see MD
