I'm glad to know that you were assessed by a gastroenterologist for your complaints.

 

As I mentioned in my earlier answer, it seems to me that you are likely experiencing gas and/or cramping when you feel the movements that you write about. Did the GI doctor discusss the possibility of irritable bowel syndrome ("IBS") with you? Gas, bloating, and cramping are very common symptoms in IBS.
