Hi,
A stomach rumble, also known as a bowel sound or peristaltic sound, is a rumbling, growling or gurgling noise produced by movement of the contents of the gastro-intestinal tract as they are propelled through the small intestine by a series of muscle contractions called peristalsis.However a hyper active bowel can be a indicator of trauma,an infection that causes problems with the nerves in the intestines,a hernia, which is when part of an organ pushes through a weak area of the stomach muscle,a blood clot
reduced blood potassium, or hypokalemia
, tumor or a blockage of the bowels, or intestinal obstruction.
Initially i would suggest you to go for ultrasound abdomen and start taking any over counter probiotic daily.
Follow up with reports.
