i am 15 years old and for the past couple of days i have been getting painful cramps on and off all day long mostly on my right side...it feels like a knife is stuck in my stomach and is being twisted. they last about 5 minutes. when i eat it makes me feel worse, so i have only been eating bread, pasta and rice...ext. but they still come back. what could it be???
Dehydration can cause severe cramping. try drinking water and/or non-citric juices. when dehydrated steer clear of carbonation, citric acid and artificial suger as it can give you a pretty bad UTI or Kidney infection. I frequently have the same type of cramps you described and that usually does the trick for me. the foods you chose can also be making it worse. they are all very absorbant and filling so they basically steal your fluids. Try eating a salad with a glass of water, or eating meat with veggies =] it should help, but from what you said it could also be one of many other things.
