What could be the reason your stomach is moving?

Dr. Andrew Seibert answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

It is normal for the intestines to be moving, in order to help facilitate digestion. Usually you can’t see it because of the muscles and fat over the abdominal wall, but in a thin person it is sometimes possible. If it appears to be abnormal, see your doctor to examine it. Good luck.
