What Is Flatulence?

6. Borborygmi
Borborygmi is a very common condition that pretty much everybody is likely to experience from time to time. It is basically the noises that we hear from our stomachs sometimes when we are feeling hungry, or when we have eaten something that doesn’t agree with us. It is a symptom that many people will experience alongside flatulence.
The sounds are produced as the liquid contents of the stomach are moved around as we move. When the sounds are louder than usual, it is often down to contractions occurring in the intestines. These sounds are not usually harmful, but you should see a doctor if they are accompanied by severe symptoms.
