Low blood sugar can be a cause of hunger pains. A snack can help alleviate hunger pains. Hunger pains are caused by stomach muscle contractions. Hunger pains may be caused by a gastrointestinal disorder that is in the early stages. Hunger pains during pregnancy may occur due to the movement of the fetus.

It may precede the borborygmi (stomach noises like rumbling and growling) that is associated with the strong stomach muscle contractions, which we commonly refer to as hunger pangs. In fact these hunger pangs may arise as late as 12 to 24 hours after the last meal.
