Gut movement is also known as peristalsis which, quite literally means the wavelike muscle contractions of the digestive tract. Peristalsis occurs for two main reasons:
1) To move the food along throughout the digestive tract so as to move it closer and closer to your anus for excretion.
2) To make sure the nutrients are being absorbed from the food as well as exposing it to the digestive juices secreted from your digestive system so that it may be entirely digested.
