Detailed explanation-1: -With diarrhea, there are usually increased muscle contractions in the stomach and small intestines, resulting in significant borborygmi. Similarly, a diet high in fructose and sorbitol, sweeteners that are commonly used in soft drinks and juices, can also cause very loud stomach growling sounds.
Detailed explanation-2: -Borborygmi are caused by the movement of fluid and gas through your digestive tract. They commonly occur alongside diarrhea due to increased muscular contractions and spasms of the intestines. It’s likely that many people with COVID-19 and diarrhea also develop borborygmi.
Detailed explanation-3: -Abdominal sounds (bowel sounds) are made by the movement of the intestines as they push food through. The intestines are hollow, so bowel sounds echo through the abdomen much like the sounds heard from water pipes. Most bowel sounds are normal. They simply mean that the gastrointestinal tract is working.
