AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the phenomenon of stomach growling, often referred to as "borborygmi," which can occur even after a substantial meal. Participants share personal experiences of feeling hungry or experiencing growling sounds despite having eaten well, highlighting the unpredictability of appetite. Some mention periods of fluctuating hunger, where they may go weeks without wanting to eat, followed by times of constant hunger. An anecdote illustrates the embarrassment of experiencing loud stomach noises in a public setting, such as at the dentist's office, emphasizing the social awkwardness associated with this bodily response. Overall, the conversation reflects on the complexities of hunger signals and the body's responses to food intake.

roast beef, yorkie pud, tatters and greens, and yet it is screaming for more,

That happens to me, I will go two weeks without wanting to eat, then for two weeks, no matter what I eat. I feel empty.
 
One time i went to the dentists, mine is female and has female assistant,
both rather smart, and i had an attack of belly growls, most embarrassing,
both of them were nearly wetting themselves.
