Am I only officially hungry when my stomach rumbles?

Stomach rumbling is called borborygmi or bor-bor-rig-me. It can happen when you eat certain foods. It can also happen when incomplete digestion.

Probably not even then. Stomach pangs also result from thirst. Since more people are chronically dehydrated than go hungry, you should drink more water. Then pangs are more likely a sign of hunger.

Your stomach rumbles because you have gas in your digestive tract. Visit the bathroom instead of the food court.

Thank you for the MHO!

No, it can be unreleased gas too. Maybe IBS.

If you have stomach rumbling from lack of food, your brain says you're hungry but your body has already been starved. This is why you should eat about 5-6 small meals/healthy snacks throughout the day.

no, because you might not even have the feeling of being hungry. did you experience that before?

No, that can happen on a full stomach.
