Hello!
Thank you for the query.
If you are thin person, some abdominal organs are more palpable than in the regular person. In the stomach area (just below it) there is a transverse colon. It can be palpable as a solid, moving peace. Its because it moves to pass the stool. And it can be solid because very often there is a hard stool inside.
It is also possible that you have a hernia in this area. Other things like tumors are rather not moving itself and are not movable either.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
