Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The walls of the gastrointestinal tract are mostly made up of muscle. The walls contract to mix and squeeze the food through your intestines so it can be digested. This process is called peristalsis. Peristalsis is generally responsible for the rumbling sound you hear after eating.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stomach growling occurs as food, liquid, and gas go through the stomach and small intestine. Stomach growling or rumbling is a normal part of digestion. There is nothing in the stomach to muffle these sounds so they can be noticeable. Among the causes are hunger, incomplete digestion, or indigestion.

Detailed explanation-3: -The body’s system for regulating food intake is coordinated by the hypothalamus, which is located under the midline of the brain, behind the eyes: Within the hypothalamus are nerve cells that, when activated, produce the sensation of hunger.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are many possible causes of stomach churning, including indigestion, stress and anxiety, and taking certain medications. Stomach churning often only causes temporary discomfort before resolving without treatment. However, this symptom can sometimes be a sign of an underlying health issue.
