Hello,
Feeling hard stomach and feeling of movement inside the abdomen can be due to many causes as follows:
- Since
ultrasound of abdomen is normal any cystic swelling is ruled out.
- This may just be a feeling that you are getting due to anxiety and stress causing
aerophagia.
- Something moving in stomach can be due to excessive bloating, gas formation and so on.
This can be diagnosed by the following:
- X-ray of abdomen in standing position.
- Barium studies if CT scans if not allowed by your insurance company.
- Clinical evaluation by a
General surgeon can help you a lot.
- Control of anxiety and stress helps.
- If the stool tests show any specific cause, then this can be treated accordingly.
- Take stool softeners for controlling
constipation.
- Take Activated
charcoal and probiotics if there is excessive gas.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
