Lazy... [18 Oct 2005|07:47pm] If you're nowhere near famished and the din is accompanied by some discomfort, you may have eaten something that doesn't agree with you. Dairy products are common culprits, especially if you're lactose-intolerant and are having trouble digesting what you ate. Or, you may have had too much of a good time; carbonated beverages such as beer and soda can cause diarrhea and loud stomach noises. "It could be something as benign as too much partying or ice cream," says Lim. In essence, peristalsis happens all the time -- but it's louder during certain periods, such as when we're digesting something or if we have indigestion and food isn't settling well with us, causing gas and other symptoms. 1 comment|post comment
