Why does my stomach make so much noise when i lay down [mainly when i'm on my back]?

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. From time to time the noises are louder and you can hear them from the outside. It is actually a normal part of digestion most of the time. Rarely, if accompanied by pain, it may mean there is an obstruction in the bowel.
