But why does it seem to only happen when you're hungry, then?

I believe having contents in your stomach muffles it, and you produce more gases when food enters the bowels which takes a bit from the last time you ate. The time for food to pass through the stomach and small intestines is around 6-8 hrs, which is also somewhat close to the amount of time the average person takes between meals if they eat 3 meals a day.

It's basically internal farting.

Oh I guess this does make sense. There's pain when ur hungry, there's pain when you have gas. The pain goes away when your stomach growls, and the pain goes away when you flatulate.
