Stomach growling. What does it mean?

Am I not eating enough.

Mine growls more then ever before.

I eat an OK breakfast, as you're all familiar

Lately, stomach growling occurs severely at odd times. Never happened so
much before.

I thought to supplement matters with yogurt but the stomach still
complains.

I'm mostly the one-a-day breakfast man, in case I didn't make myself
clear in the past.

I'm NOT a lion or tiger but lately I growl like one.

I've been told I snore like an elephant but that's another matter.

You?

I don't know what you mean by one-a-day breakfast... do you mean
that's your only meal? If so, then the answer is obvious. However,
stomach growling when I'm not hungry happens to me too. My stomach
doesn't hurt, it's just loud. AFAIC because it's usually just an hour
or two after eating, so it's probably digesting food noisily.
Unfortunately, if there are people around me - they take it as a sign
of hunger and press more food on me, which quiets my tummy rumblings
but I don't need or want the food. That's life!

sf,

By one-a-day breakfast, yeah, that's my only meal of the day, excluding
snacks.

It's just that in the past few months my stomach growling has increased
to such a degree, it's becoming more and more of a concern.

Even my thirst has diminished to a large degree. Bottled water being my
main quencher at all times.

My appetite isn't what it used to be, for sure, but, it's been that way
for years without stomach complaints.

Something's changed. Time, for one thing. Just thought I'd ask.

Best,

Andy

Try eating the same amount of food spread over the day instead of one
big meal and then nothing else for remainder of 24 hours.

sf,

Maybe so, only I'm more in favor of fueling up for the day. In years
past if I have dinner, I don't sleep so well. I know I've mentioned that
before.

Breakfast if you hadn't noticed, is nothing gargantuan to divvy up into
three meals. Then I'd feel like I was starving and only have you to
blame.

Best,

Andy

OUCH! Sorry, can't help you then. You don't even want to eat yogurt
to calm the rumblings.

I have gastroparesis and a hiatus hernia. My stomach only growls when
it is very empty. And because of the gastroparesis, it isn't empty
very often. But that's me.
And when it does growl, it growls very slightly. I'd rather have a
good growl going.

sf,

no! No!! NO!!! I'm a BIG fan of yogurt, as I mentioned originally.

A few months ago, I jumped ship from Yoplait (Fiber One) to Dannon's "fruit
on bottom" yogurt.

Strawberry.

I don't dare stray too afar up or down the fruit ladder. LOL!

I said I was picky! Old habits die hard. ;)

I'd be embarrassed to record my stomach growling on "tape." Lasts about
five seconds, most times.

I'm beginning to think it's an extraterrestrial rescue call. LOL!!!

OK - Julie called it hiatal and you called it hiatus - are both
correct?

Kalmia,

Right!!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

As esoteric as that may sound. :)))

I believe hiatus is correct but I'm no expert.

From Wikipedia: Esophageal hiatus, the opening in the diaphragm
through which the esophagus passes from the thorax into the abdomen.

My dictionary says they are the same:
