May be nothing: It is good to think about anything that could cause stomach muscles to be sore, such as exercise or activities. Even coughing or laughing more than usual can cause them to hurt. Sometimes they can be sore as an early sign of an infection like gastroenteritis, though, so watch for other symptoms.
