Is it not just hunger that makes your stomach growl?

release time:2022-01-22|reading:

Busy with work, I often miss meals when I work overtime. Many people will make fun of the "tummy growling".

肚子咕咕叫 并不仅仅是因为饿了?

In life, people have basically experienced stomach growling, but most people don't care too much. They think they are hungry.


But sometimes, it is obvious that after a good meal, the stomach will also growl. What's the matter?


If the stomach gurgles for a long time, we should pay attention to it. Especially in winter, people's appetite and stomach and intestines burden will increase, so we should do a good job in maintenance and health care.


If you are hungry, you can growl


People feel hungry after strenuous exercise or when they do not eat after meals, but they do not grunt because of hunger.


"Only when the gastrointestinal tract moves rapidly can you hear the gurgling sound in your stomach."


The food eaten by people is generally emptied from the stomach after 4-5 hours.


At this point, the stomach will begin to contract violently.


The time of gastric emptying is closely related to the composition of food.


If it is a pure carbohydrate food, it will take about 2 hours to empty, about 3-4 hours for protein food, about 5-6 hours for pure fat food, and 4-5 hours for mixed food on average.


The rate of gastric emptying is also proportional to the amount of food eaten.


If there is 100 ml of food in the stomach, about 5 ml will be discharged every minute. When the food volume in the stomach reaches 500 ml, 15 ml will be discharged every minute.


When the gastric juice digest food, the stomach will wriggle and push the food into the intestine.


At any time, there is always a certain amount of liquid and gas in the stomach.


The liquid is generally the gastric digestive juice secreted by the gastric mucosa in a small amount.


Gas is usually swallowed when food is eaten.


When the stomach wall shrinks violently, the air and food in the stomach are pushed by the stomach and make a faint gurgling sound. In this case, people usually do not notice.


However, due to people's regular habit of eating three meals, gastrointestinal function has also formed a dynamic stereotype. When the time comes, people will naturally "start" to work, and people will have a sense of hunger.


At this time, although there is a lack of food in the stomach, the stomach is also wriggling and continues to work.


Because there is more air in the stomach and less food, the sound of "gurgling" will be louder and easier to hear.


Therefore, the stomach will growl when eating and when hungry.


Signs before the onset of disease


If you feel comfortable when your stomach is rumbling, the rumbling or bellyaching of your stomach can be completely normal, and you don't need to worry about it. However, if you feel uncomfortable, you should pay high attention to it. This may be due to the warning given to your body before some diseases have come.


Under normal circumstances, the intestinal sound is about 4-5 times per minute. The sound is relatively weak and soft, and it is more difficult for people to hear.


However, if the gastrointestinal tract peristalsis is abnormal, too fast or too slow, the intestinal sound is like a "gastrointestinal warning device", which may cause excessive peristalsis or slowly disappear.


If intestinal sounds exist alone, without accompanying symptoms, and are more obvious after meals, more than 5 times per minute, it is likely to be indigestion.


Dyspepsia can lead to excessive gas production in the gastrointestinal tract, which cannot be discharged smoothly, thus producing bowel sounds.


Generally speaking, this kind of defecation singing is harmless. It is OK to eat less food that is not easy to digest and eat more food to promote gastrointestinal tract conditioning.


Therefore, if the intestinal sound is more than 10 times/minute, the sound will increase but not be high pitched. When the intestinal sound appears, you will feel the intestinal activity, gastric acid saturation, early satiety, abnormal defecation, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, symptoms that persist or recur for more than three months, and weight loss. You'd better see a doctor in the Department of Gastroenterology.


If intestinal polyps, tumors and other organic diseases are excluded, intestinal ringing, abdominal distension, excessive farting and no stool formation are still common. Patients should be alert to irritable bowel syndrome, which is caused by imbalance of intestinal flora.


Recognize the growling and keep your stomach healthy


The cold weather in winter is also a period when the gastrointestinal tract is relatively fragile. A little carelessness will cause functional disorder.


We should pay attention to keeping warm, keeping a good "inlet" and relieving pressure.


When the human body is stimulated by cold air, the secretion of gastric acid will greatly increase, and the resistance will also decrease.


The incidence of peptic ulcer and stomach disease is high. The first step to protect the intestines and stomach is to keep warm, add clothes in time, and cover the bedding when sleeping at night to prevent stomach pain or old diseases caused by aggravating abdominal cold.


At the same time, avoid cold food, control the amount of cold food, diet should be warm, soft, light, vegetarian, fresh, three meals a day should be fixed.


In winter, because the days are short and the nights are long, many people will change three meals a day into two, and increase the amount of two meals, which is not recommended.


The secretion of gastric juice is regulated by the biological clock and keeps regular secretion. When you feel hungry and growling, it is the stomach that sends a signal to you - "It's time to eat".


If this signal is ignored at this time, a large amount of stomach acid produced in the stomach will not be digested, and in turn, "digest" your own mucosa, causing stomach pain.


Moreover, it is cold in winter, and many people like hot pot or hot mouth food.


However, the wall of human esophagus is composed of mucous membrane system, which is very delicate and can only tolerate food at 50~60 ℃. If the temperature is higher than ours, the esophageal mucosa will be scalded by itself.


Too cold food can enter the stomach, which will stimulate gastric mucosa and cause stomach disease, and is not conducive to human warmth.


Therefore, the main food in winter is a kind of warm and hot food. Eat more stews and fried vegetables, eat less cold dishes, drink soup instead of just boiled soup, eat no too cold, too hot, too hard, too hot, too sticky food, and avoid overeating, smoking and drinking.


If you need to take medicine, you'd better take it after meals to prevent the gastric mucosa from being irritated and causing the disease to deteriorate.


Many people have had such an experience. I get stomachache when I get angry. In winter, I maintain my stomach and intestines to keep my life happy and emotional stability, and avoid the stimulation of negative emotions such as tension, anxiety, and anger.


Smoldering hurts the liver and liver qi offends the stomach, which can easily cause epigastralgia, vomiting, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal system diseases.


The sunshine time in winter is short, which is easy to cause depression. It is recommended to stick to sports and go outdoors to bask in the sun as much as possible.


Fast paced office workers should pay special attention not to use their brains immediately after meals.


Many office workers rush to work as soon as they finish eating. At this time, active mental activities can easily affect stomach function.


Because the blood volume inside the body is relatively fixed, the stomach needs to mobilize enough blood flow to digest food after a large amount of eating. If you immediately engage in mental activities, the brain and stomach compete for limited blood, leading to indigestion and stomach problems.


Similarly, watching TV while eating is bad for your stomach.


So when your stomach is rumbling, you should pay attention to the maintenance of your stomach, which is very important.
