When I lie down, my stomach growls. Is it not good for intestinal function?

Bowel growls are generally called bowel sounds in medicine. When lying down, bowel sounds are not necessarily due to poor intestinal function.

Intestinal movements are to gradually push food into the digestive tract and promote digestion and absorption. Bowel sounds occur when intestinal contractions and peristalsis occur, which are more obvious on an empty stomach or after eating, because intestinal movements are more active at this time. If there are no other discomfort symptoms, it is generally not considered to be intestinal dysfunction. However, if there are bowel sounds accompanied by abdominal pain, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other abnormal conditions, it may be related to poor intestinal function, it is recommended to seek medical examination in time to clarify the cause.
