Why does green tea or anything with green tea in it make my tummy hurt badly?

Green Tea drinks are so tasty to me,but after a couple of hours it tears my stomache apart completely! (especially the straight green tea) It hurts soooo bad that I want to cry almost lol, and it makes you run to the bathroom and have terribly sharp griping pains. Is this just me or is it the green tea?
I asked this in the health and diet section but the answers were like fake automated weight loss answers lol.

Hey, I’m not fake! I answered there, but not fast enough I guess. It could be the green tea, but first, what kind are you drinking? Because if it’s bottled green tea or something like Snapple green tea with lemon your body could be reacting to some of the numerous additives. Plus a lot of bottled green teas don’t use brewed tea at all, just extract. God only knows what kind of chemical interactions there are in those things.
Try brewing a small glass of green tea, just leaves and water, and see if it has the same effect. If so, then it’s the tea. Could be an allergy, maybe something else. Also, green tea’s not very different chemically from black tea, so if a cup of Twining’s English Breakfast has the same effect then you know for sure.
(I guess you could keep drinking them as long as you spit it out, haha)
Good luck!
