Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Sometimes movements of the bowels can be interpreted as pregnancy kicks.
Continuously thinking about pregnancy can also lead to this type of symptoms.
After consulting your doctor, get examined and go for ultrasound examination.
This will help in ruling out the possibility of pregnancy and also to find out the cause for kicking type of movements.
In case of gastritis, taking antacids can releive the problem.
Maintain regular bowel habits, avoid constipation.
Take plenty of water and nutritious food.
Take care.
