A member asked:

I have sudden abdominal flutter/twitch/jerky motion.don't know how to describe. i am not pregnant. what could be the reasons, why does this happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Consider: Although could involve primary gastrointestinal issues at esophageal-gastric junction, a neurological explanation could be diaphragmatic myoclonus, or leuwenhoek's disease. Rare, but possible.
