Dear hunger pains due to bowel movements are normal in every body but in irritable bowel syndrome and anxiety neurosis.
Bowel movements are high.
These are appears like painful bowel movements.
Normal bowel movements are called borborygmi.

Pathological causes are:

4. Irritable bowel syndrome

Avoid spicy food and alcohol, avoid caffeinated drinks. Use tab. Normaxine twice a day for five days.
