Nothing to worry about in 95% of cases, perfectly normal for all

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Gurgling in the digestive system can result from various reasons which can both be normal as well as indicate mild discomfort.

Some of the reasons can be:

+Empty stomach
+Increased acid production
+Recent meal
+Process of digestion
+Stress levels (moderate to high)
+Some underlying gastric condition (As most of them can present in this manner)
and a few other simple and harmless causes.

If you have any added symptoms then let me know and I can tell you if you may have some cause to the gurgling, but if you have none, then there is nothing to worry about as this is perfectly normal. I hope you find relief and hopefully this is nothing serious. Please do not hesitate to write to me anytime, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
