Feeling lumps or something under your fingers could be signs of a problem. Feeling parts that are harder but not feeling any lumps or abnormalities is not as concerning. For instance, my right upper quadrant is harder/firmer than my lower, but it's a straight firmness with no abnormalities. It doesn't hurt to push on it and there is no tenderness.
If you're extremely thin and especially without a lot of muscle, it may be a little different. When my mom was skin and bones thanks to cancer, I swear I could feel everything in her intestines. |

Probably a hernia. |

| Are you prone to constipation? My DD is, and her GI can tell by palpitating her stomach. |

| Yes. I think it's my liver, although it happened after a pregnancy so who knows. |

| No. That is not normal. Abdomens should be soft. Maybe it is a blockage in your colon? |

| How can one tell if its stool or not? I wonder how doctors can tell if they can what feels like stool. |
