Default NAAFA's Airline Tips for Fat People

Following up to Martin W. Smith

If you havnt eaten, the growling is normal


Because you say so?


If you like!
Is it not commonly reported? When I last went to the dentist sans
breakfast I apologised for the rumbling, although dentists are
not doctors, they tend to medically aware, he did not seem to
think I had any problem, just in need of a croissant which I
couldn't eat until my gums had been treated.

next time you go to your dentist, as he/she enters the room
act like you are chewing and then hold up an oreo cookie and
mumble, "you want one?" the look of disbelief on the dentist's
face is going to be priceless.

I don't think it is a problem. I just don't think it any more normal
than not growling.

The growling does not come from the stomach, it comes from the
intestine. The intestine contracts to move materials. If there is a
certain proportion of liquid or gas (as is the case if you have not
eaten) the contractions generate the sound that is noticed as 'stomach
growling'.

Did a quick check after posting. Since the stomach also contracts, it
may indeed also be the source of such sounds. But in most cases it is
the intestine.
