CRAMPS!

What are cramps (stomach cramps) in the body, and how the hell do I stop them? Everytime I start running, I'll get about 3/4 of the way into the first mile and start to feel really strong stomach/abdomen cramps that make it painful to keep running. I've tried eating about 4 hours prior to working out, not eating for about 6 hours before I work out, and eating about an hour before I work out. None seem to lessen the pain at all.

I'm a mouth-breather, cause I can never seem to get enough air through my nose, especially when I'm sprinting. Can this make it worse?
