Need help with side stitches. [View all]

Can anyone suggest a good, pre-run warmup to head these off, or any kind of exercise outside of running that I can do? I'm going to adjust the times I eat before running to see if that makes a difference, but from the reading I've done, I'm not clear exactly what kind of exercises may help with these too.

Thanks in advance!
