I just ate some eggs and my sides feel a little crampy

Soso answered

Okay so sometimes what we eat can make us feel a little crampy, even if it's not period cramps. It could be that your body is just getting used to digesting something, or maybe you ate too fast. Eggs are usually super good for you, so it's probably nothing to worry about.

Your stomach and intestines are right there in your middle, and sometimes when they're working hard to digest food, it can feel like a cramp in your sides or lower belly. It's not usually the same kind of cramp as period cramps, which are from your uterus. But it can definitely feel weird and a little uncomfortable.

If it keeps happening every time you eat eggs, you could mention it to a grown-up just in case your body is sensitive to them. But for now, maybe just drink some water and relax for a bit. Usually, these kinds of cramps go away pretty fast as your body digests everything.
