Borborygmi isn't just caused by hunger. It is also present with intestinal infections that cause either vomiting or diarrhea. Any time peristalsis is sped up or gas producing bacteria are present borborygmi increases.

Just an FYI, borborygmi is always present in a healthy gut, but it is usually only heard with a stethoscope.
