Some thoughts...: Stretching of the stomach stimulates the gastrocolic reflex, increasing the motility of the colon. It's the same reflex that causes you to feel like you need to have a bowel movement after eating. If someone has gas some gas down there, that can cause some discomfort during bowel peristalsis. Best of luck!
