If your toothpaste contains fluoride then you may be having a type of allergic reaction to the toxin. Fluoride is horrible for our bodies and it's possible that your body is overloaded with it and begins to feel pain when you subjet it to more fluoride.
Fluoride seems to be promoted to us in unhealthy ways. It is usually in our toothpastes, mouthwashes, and most tap water. Fluoride is actually a hazardous waste product (actually it's referred to as a Nuclear Waste Byproduct) that can be very harmful to us, causing us serious illnesses such as bone cancer. The fluoride added to public drinking water is actually fluorosilic acid, just as a note.
Florida phosphate fertilizer smokestacks actually happens to be where fluoride comes from in the end. It was found that cattle and crops nearby where dying in insane amounts from being so close to the wastes from these smokestacks so filters were enforced to lessen those issues. People now are hired to go and scrap off these filters and use that byproduct for what we know as fluoride--yes, the same thing that was causing the death of plants and animals!
This link shows you the dangers of fluoride usage and how it's caused some serious illnesses:

So…that is some things like:
Joint Pain
Brain Damage (lowered IQ impairment of learning and memory)
Skeletal Fluorosis
Bone Cancer
Osteosarcoma
Kidney Disease
Infertility
Hypothyroidism
Fluoridation was first advanced in the US at the end of World War II. There was claim that fluoride in water and toothpaste would help to protect teeth and prevent decay. Over the following decades, fluoride was added to public water supplies across the country, and now only a handful of places in the United States are un-fluorinated.
It turns out that fluoride may have serious adverse health effects, including infant mortality, congenital defects and IQ as well. It is a fact that it's more toxic than lead and marginally less so than arsenic.
On a less serious note (apart from the cancer and overall destruction of your body) it is the leading cause of fluorosis. Dental fluorosis is characterized by black and brown stains, as well as cracking and pitting of the teeth. It' caused by an OVERDOSE of fluoride, according to wikipedia:

Usually a person ends up needing their teeth removed and dentures made because the process cannot really be reversed. It also usually happens only to adult teeth, but sometimes younger children develop it very early on. Here are some photos of people suffering from fluorosis:

Here is a link to a short documentary called The Fluoride Deception:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Which was based on the book The Fluoride Deception by Christopher Bryson. According to him, "Fluoride is an essential component of atomic bomb production and was declared a 'strategic and critical' material by the government after World War II, With fluospar, the usual fluoride source, in short supply, they turned to Florida's phosphate industry to recover the industry's captured fluoride. Florida held the world's largest geological deposits of natural phosphate which contain 3 - 4% fluoride.
In a sweetheart deal these phosphate companies are spared the expense of disposing of this 'fluosilicic acid' in a toxic waste dump. Instead, the acid is sold to municipalities, shipped in rubber-lined tanker trucks to reservoirs across North America and injected into drinking water for the reduction of cavities in children. (So toxic are the contents of the fluoride trucks that, in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack, authorities were alerted to keep a watchful eye on road shipments of the children's tooth-decay reducer.)
There was yet another potential cold-war reason for disposing of fluosilicic acid in public water supplies. The Florida phosphate beds were also an important source of uranium, harvested for the Atomic Energy Commission. Because uranium is only a trace mineral in the phosphate deposits, enormous quantities had to be processed to glean worthwhile amounts of uranium. So, large amounts of waste fluoride were also produced. Permitting that fluoride to be dumped into public water supplies - rather than being disposed of as toxic waste - reduced the cost of such uranium extraction and provided a supply of fluoride."
Fluoride is being added to our waters, despite the fact that is not beneficial in any way. It's even being added to a bottled water especially for infants called Nursery Water. It was once said that fluoride causes less tooth decay, but it's a fact that: "New York City children have more tooth decay than the national average, despite fluoridation," and, "Second-graders who live in non-fluoridated Long Island, New York, are more likely to be cavity-free than second graders nationally."

Fluoride keeps dentists in business with fluorosis and products being marketed with fluoride in it. We're told that fluoride treatments are only to help our health, but, in reality, it ends up causing us to seek dentistry more often.
It's really scary when you think of the warnings on products contain fluoride:
"Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age."
"If you swallow more than used for brushing, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away."
"If more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Centre right away."
"Never give fluoridated mouthwash or mouth rinses to children under six years of age, as they may swallow it."
"Use non-fluoridated toothpaste or no toothpaste for young children."
There are some really nice toothpastes (and other products, obviously) that are fluoride-free. Tom's of Maine seems especially popular. I like to use a product called Dr. Ken's maximum care toothpaste:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
...but when searching for products you must read the labels to see if it specifies "fluoride free".
So, try to purchase products that do not contain fluoride for your own safety. It's possible that the problem will disappear after you stop using product with fluoride and you will no longer have HORRIBLE stomach aches after brushing your teeth! :) Your body will be much happier if you make the switch!
P.S. If you use mouthwash or floss then make you check those too for the fluoride! ;)

While I don't know the cause of this, I suffer from the same syndrome, so you're not alone. By the time I'm done brushing my teeth, my stomach is churning up all kinds of gas, and I get a stomach ache that lasts around 15 to 20 minutes.
Clearly, I am not swallowing my toothpaste. In my estimation, my stomach is reacting to the taste or smell of the toothpaste. (Just as the stomach reacts to other tastes and smells.) My stomach is reacting to the taste or smell by producing a lot of acid and/or gas (are these two aspects of the same thing? I'm not sure.)
I'm going to experiment with different kinds of toothpaste. I'll let you know what I find.

*hey try eating first before u brush ur teeth bcz that use to happen to me*plus try using less toothpaste or mayb buy that barney toothpaste*hehe*
]
Make sure u don't swallow ur toothpaste. Ur stomach prolly is just getting upset from ether swallowing ur toothpaste or having it go in2 ur stomach even w/o u swallowing. Try a different toothpaste and that might help.
]
try brushing ur teeth at a different time to see if its the time or the tooth paste and if it still gives u a headach then swich toothpastes and if its still bad then ask ur dr. but if u have a chance to talk to ur dr. or dentist before all thaty then bring it up .
]
I don't know why that's happening and it's not normal. Maybe you swallowed toothpaste or something. Have you tried different toothpastes? Ask a dentist.

Hello =) If you want to see if its the toothpaste, then do this:
1. Don't put toothpaste on your toothbrush, just brush your teeth with the brush only to get rid of the leftover food.
2. Use mouthwash so you have good breath, like what toothpaste would do.
I really hoped I helped, drop one in the inbox if you'd like. <3 Steph

i dunno that sounds odd...hmm lol never heard of that one! swy =(
*jesikuh

heyy! well mabey its the toothpaste .. sometimes certain toothpastes ( flavors ) can upset ur stomach .. or mabey ur just swallowing the toothpaste too much ... lol i do that sometimes =) hope i was of some help!

its probably your body getting used to moving around after a long time of staying still. it happens to me a lot but usually goes away after i eat. if eating doesn't help, try taking advil. it should last you throughout the day.
I dont know what to say about brushing your teeth, maybe your body is having an allergic reaction. Try using a different toothpaste.
]
Do you swallow your toothpaste if you do don't that might be the problem.

well i don't think your doing anything wrong. you do need to go to the doctor tho just have him/her check it out.

Okay. If you wake up the same time every day, and brush your teeth the same time every day - then this could or could not be related to brushing your teeth.
Perhaps the stomach ache comes from hunger or another issue; either way, I'd get it checked out with a doctor. They'll be able to diagnose what's wrong and also help you solve it - one trip there, and then you have no more ruined days.

If you gag when you are brushing your teeth like in the back of your mouth, that may be why your stomach hurts after, or you may be swallowing the toothpaste or it may have something to do with the brand of toothpaste, try using a new toothpaste to see if that helps any

Floride is actually quite bad for you. It even says on the tube "if swallowed seek medical attention immediatly." If you swallow any of your toothpaste, yes it will give you a stomache ache. And you just may be more sensitvie to it. Try using a toothpaste without floride.
Also do you eat breakfast in the morning? If not the only thing siting in your stomach is a little toothpaste. Eating a little food will help soak up the little bit that is sensitive to your stomache.
I bet the school nurse would agreee the most common complaint she gets is stomache aches, and it is almost always because the students don't eat their breakfast.
]
It could be the brand, try getting a different brand.
But try eating something before you brush your teeth, so the first thing hitting your stomach isn't some nasty tasting toothpaste. Just eat like a piece of bread or something bland, or even your breakfast, and then brush your teeth. Maybe you need something in your stomach.
But still, tell your parents.

tell ur parents about it. it could b nothin or it could b sumthing.try talkin 2 da doctor about it. the longer u wait the more it will hurt. good luc
]
Wow....thats REALLY weird....go to the doctor...or talk to you parents or someone thats not normal!!
]
It could be so many things I don't even know where to start. If it bothers you this much, go see a doctor. I had an occasional stomach ache and they had to do several tests to find out what it was. They gave me this long list of things that it could have been, and it was nothing on the list, so it's hard telling. It could be a reaction your body's having from the paste, it could be something else. Try switching brands of tooth paste if you think that's the problem.
]
umm im not sure maybe its the toothpaste you should use? maybe try switching toothpastes n if it still hurts go to the doctors n get it checked out.. sorry not much help lol
]
Don't worry, it's normal. You body is just releasing gases inside of your stomach and it makes your stomach hurt. If it gets worse, you need to go see a doctor just to make sure nothing is wrong. Hope I helped :)
]
maybe its ur body system, sometimes its "programmed" to let go of the toxins in ur body in the mornings! dun worry, it should be okay! but if it gets worse, then consult a doctor asap! take care! -Rei
