Hi Milly,
Concentrated sports drinks empty more slowly from the stomach and are absorbed more slowly in the intestines so that could be the reason for your stomach cramps. Try diluting the sports drink so it isn't as concentrated but obviously not too much that you dilute the carbohydrate content. It's really a case of trial & error but I think if you mix in some water then the stomach pain should ease!

I did dilute (so it's practically water with some flavoring) and it worked, thanks!!!
