Almost every time I go to bed and lie on my back, my stomach rumbles a lot, a little less when I lie on my side. I'm not hungry. Why is this happening and how to deal with it?
A hum in the stomach is related to the movement of gases in the intestines. An increased amount of gas is created when someone eats certain foods - onions, beans or peas are known to work in this regard, but not everyone knows that the amount of gas may be increased in people who eat a lot of bars and other sweets. Increased gas can also occur in people who talk a lot while eating or eat quickly - in such cases, they swallow air involuntarily. The advice to reduce the rumble is as follows - eat slowly, limit conversation as much as possible, avoid sweets, eat plenty of vegetables and fruit. Eating vegetables and fruits increases the amount of fiber in the digestive tract, which in turn gives a better filling with digestive content and protects against gas.
