The medical name is borborygmus =a rumbling noise caused by propulsion of gas through the intestines
http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/borborygmus
However, in the given context I'd go with bowel sounds
It can be a symptomof IBS, but not the syndrome itself

MIchaela's solution might not be the most appropriate if the context is something like "if your furry friend has ..."
it might be more like " growling/rumbling bowel sounds/noises/tummy..."
"Bowel sounds" seems to need some qualification
