Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Great history.
Since you are very thing, it is normal to have and be seen the normal intestinal movements.
Intestines allow forward passage of its contents , the food , to move forwards by a process called peristalsis and can be felt or seen in some thin people.
Yet, it is better to confirm by a clinical examination by a Gastroenterlogist/ General Surgeon to confirm this.
You may need to undergo:
X-ray in a standing position;
Ct scan abdomen to see ad rule out another causes.
