I've heard of side stitches before...and had them before...Its kid of like your diaphragm gets tired of breathing...and feels like a knife in your side..
I can handle those...

But do they also occur in your lower abdomen?

The last three times i've tried to train, I get these lower abdomen cramps like poop cramps or period cramps...

I usually force myself to poop to make myself feel better and its been over a week since i finished my last period...
Its obviously cramping only due to exercise...beacuse it starts about 15 minutes into it and doesnt stop till about 15 minutes after i stop..which is usually right after they start...
Anybody ever had this before? Its really effecting my ability to train..I dont want to waste time if its like a hydration issue or something.

I get those cramps too.  I've increased my daily fiber intake to the RDA and that seems to have alleviated the cause.

don't know if it'll help you at all.

caution: if you're not getting RDA of fiber, increase your daily dosage gradually or you'll get a surprise that's not fun.

Change your diet, exercise when you have competely empty and after bowel movements.  See what happens.
