Rumbling bowels: cause rumbling and gurgling in the stomach
-
Do you suffer from rumbling intestines and bowel noises? If your bowels are making rumbling noises, it may be because of excess gas in the abdomen. Swallowing large amounts of air very frequently, for example by eating too quickly, can cause excessive gas in the abdomen. Rumbling stomach and bowel sounds, however, can also be related to bowel motility, the normal movement of the bowels. The motility of the gut increases while eating, but the mere smelling of a tasty snack can stimulate the gut to extra activity. Some people are more sensitive or have a heightened sense of what is going on in their body, so they hear or feel more.

Intestinal blockage: obstruction ileus or mechanical ileus
-
In a so-called obstruction ileus or mechanical ileus, the bowel is blocked due to an 'obstruction' or 'mechanical impediment' blocking the passage. Possible causes are a twisting of the bowel, or the bowel being squeezed by scar tissue (adhesions). A growth or tumor can also lead to obstruction and manifest itself as an intestinal blockage. The intestine tries to force the food past the obstruction with increasing force. This causes progressively worsening seizure-like cramping stomach pain (colic). The intestine continues to expand and fluid accumulates. You get a bloated stomach, you get nausea and you vomit. The vomit becomes darker in color and more and more resembles faeces. You no longer produce wind and there is no stool. There are bowel noises
