Twitching in Intestines

Twitching in Intestines

Anyone have any ideas about what causes jerking and twitching in intestines....Mom in her eighties .... they think that she may have ovarian cancer or some kind of bowel dysmotility.

am wondering what this jerking is all about....happens at night and wakes her up.... some days she has it and some days not....

can't seem to find anything that instigates the jerking...

any thoughts appreciated

happened to me when I had a bacterial infection/UTI going on in there, and went into super spasms when I was given a antibiotic.. you could try some probiotics like VSL3 I think...or threelac or something to combat that.  Or go into a doctor to check and make sure she's not having a UTI of some sorts.. could be muscles or some nervous twitching but i'm just firing off ideas... wouldn't be a bad idea to get a urine sample and just ask a doctors advice..

*shrugs* good luck :)
