I feel sudden sharp pain in intestine sometimes i don't know why. why it's happening?

Several causes: Abdominal pain from the bowels could occur because of increase peristalsis or contractions, like in irritable bowel syndrome, or due to excess of gas production associated with bloatines, maybe due to some food intolerance.
