Brief Answer:
Pulse of the abdominal aorta.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for the query.
There are two physiological events happening. One is pulsation of the abdominal aorta and bowel movements.
You may be preserving one or the both has increased pulse of the stomach.
This may be due to your lean built because of consistent vomiting.
All your lab tests, endoscopy and radiological test are normal except hypovitaminosis of vitamin E and D.
Pulsation of the penis during erection is normal. These are arterial pulsations due to the inflow of blood. This is the very reason for erection of the penis.
You may not worry due to this because both the pulsations are normal. Secondly you don't have any associated medical problem related to it.
There is no problem as such.
Hope the answer helps you.

Dear Dr. Basheer Ahamed
Thank you for your quick response. I went to Cardiologist Physician and I did ultra sound to see all the valves and abdominal aorta and he said all are ok.
Here is my question: if this is happening due to bowel movements how I fix it ? is there any medication to make the bowel movements goes in normal way ?

Brief Answer:
Antimotility drugs may be tried.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
We do not fix something that is normal. Trying to fix normal body functions can cause imbalance which can create something abnormal. Without pain, loose stools and other associated complaints I am fairly confident pulsating bowel is not abnormal and you can just ignore that.
If this exaggerated peristalsis(Bowel movement) is concerning you, you can consult your physician who can write antispasmodic (antimotility drugs) like dicyclomine. This can reduce exaggerated bowel movements and relieve the distress.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
