A member asked:

My stomach gets really gurgly mainly when i lay down to go to bed at night. is there something that might help prevent or treat this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Borborygmus (normal): A rumbling or gurgling noise that occurs from the movements of fluid and gas in the intestines. The sound occurs when gases in the body flow through the small intestine. As waves of muscle contractions move foods and gases through the digestive system, the food is pushed against the intestinal wall, which induces the noise. If there is no vomiting, weight loss or change in bowel habits, its normal.
