My question is what's the definition of empty stomach? when the stomach starts to growl, does that indicates empty stomach?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Empty=Nothing: An empty stomach, means no food or fluid in it. Usually solid foods should be out of the stomach by 4 hours and liquids should be out of the stomach by 2 hours.
