Why do gas pains feel like something being pulled like a muscle being pulled ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Pavel Conovalciuc answered

Gas pain: Gas pain can be described in a variety of ways. Intestines, where gas pains originate is a muscular organ, so distension of a muscle can feel the way you describe.
