If the intestines are attached to the peritoneum or another abdominal organ, the peristalsis of the intestines WILL "pull" and thus cause pain that can be described as being a "burning" pain.

The intestine is a muscle. It does NOT have nerves!!

Definition of "peristalsis" -- the coordinated, rhythmic, serial contraction of smooth muscle that forces food through the digestive tract. "
