Stomach hurting during exercise

Hi. Sometimes my stomach will start to hurt when I'm exercising and I don't know why. It's not cramps or hunger and I drink a lot of water. It usually goes away after I stop exercising. Sometimes it doesn't hurt very much but other times it will hurt so bad that I have to lie down. Thanks in advance for comments.

    If it was me i would seek medical advice from my doctor it maybe nothing to worry about other than over doing it a bit.

    I ran yesterday for quite a distance, and my stomach hurt about 4 miles in pretty badly. I think I had eaten too soon before exercising - even an hour and a half was too soon, because my intake was >300 calories and fairly carb-concentrated. I think the motion in my stomach of that food mixed with my digestive system going into overdrive to get it processed through my body together made it hard to move with that much impact.
