Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.

Occasional rumbling of stomach is a normal phenomenon. It occurs due to the movements of the intestinal contents.
You can just ignore it.

Excessive rumbling associated with abdominal pain and vomiting may indicate intestinal obstruction which needs immediate medical attention.
