It fills in the silence and all the attention shifts to you with everyone asking if you are okay. Or if you need something to eat.

Not again! Relax, not like we are telling you to run a marathon. Just a short walk to make digestion easier. Donât even try intense cardio immediately after a meal. You wonât like it.
4. Drink water
What if food is not ready? In that case, gulp down some water to soothe the hunger reactions. If the growling is due to indigestion, water will also make digestion easier.
5. Eat slowly

No hurry in Africa remember? Chew slowly since digestion begins in the mouth. If food is not properly broken down in the mouth, the stomach will have a harder time digesting the large pieces of food.
6. Know your triggers

7. Stay calm
Ever wondered why your stomach only rumbles when badly need it to be silent? Itâs because the gut activity increases when you are anxious. Try as much as possible to remain calm during interviews, presentations or while on a date.
