Brief Answer:
normal GI motility
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You have noticed that after eating you will get a fluttering or funny feeling in your abdomen. This is more than likely the normal motility of the GI tract after eating. You body needs to move the food from the stomach to the small and large intestines. The length of the GI tract is several feet and takes time to move the food through. You are feeling that movement and interpreting it as fluttering. I would not worry about this and in time it will go away.
I hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with any of your health care concerns or questions
