Typically a stitch is caused by a muscle in the abdomanal area going into spasm causing a great amount of pain. A few stretches only make it worse, there are four easy solutions:

1) Take very deep breaths and continue running whilst doing this

2) Raise your hands above your head and breathe in, the as you drop your hands (slowly) exhale.

3) When you run, make sure you carry a bottle of water. It helps too.

4) If the pain gets too much, stop running altogether and keep pressure on the stitch

Why do you get pains in your side while exercising- Is it from lack of water before exercising?

Well if you think it's because of lack of water then just drink a cup of water one hour to 30 minutes before you exercise.. Also though I used to get sharp pains in my ribs when I was littler (like 9-10) so I told my chiropractor and he said it's probably because my breathing's not under control, so when you're exercising make sure your breathing is slow and steady, maybe that'll help you as much as it helped me(: You got a stitch in your side when you were exercising. It wasn't because of the lack of water. The cause of a stitch as of now is still unknown.
