Jan 22, 2020 at 11:09 comment added Jan If it's only in summer, it's more likely related to thermoregulation, as I suggested in my second hypothesis (in winter it may not be warm enough to sweat). Why not everyone? Because there can be great personal differences in how someone reacts to "stress" (water suddenly appearing in your stomach). It may be partially psychological. It's like when people are embarrassed or scared, but not everyone responds by sweating. Other examples or receptors: The stomach can detect the amount of calories in the food and releases only a certain amount of calories in a certain time into the intestine...
Jan 22, 2020 at 4:22 comment added Kevin Selva Prasanna Thanks for the answer. Do you have any idea why this is more likely in summer? And not everyone? Why me? It's cool to know that we have chemoreceptors in the stomach. Is there any other normal day-to-day situation when we can be aware of the chemoreceptors in the stomach?
