Why do our stomachs (organs) have selective sensations, such as pain?

Typically people do not ‘feel’ sensations in their stomach. Such as the food moving around, etc. Why when we have food poisoning or flu do we suddenly feel pain? Our organs only have pain receptors? All other feelings are null?

When you are suffering from flu or other stomach sickness, your body is actually spasming/cramping the muscles in that area to cause vomiting and/or diarrhea in an attempt to evacuate the bacteria/virus. It is the muscles that feel the pain.
