Hi!
You describe a natural response to nicotine withdrawal. Stomach ache, headache etc are a part of cravings for nicotine. You could ask your doctor to prescribe something to reduce this discomfort. Chew on to a natural chewing gum instead of the nicotine gum and keep yourself busy doing things you really like. The combined effect of medications to reduce aches and pain, the continued process of chewing and a distracted mind is very likely to help you quit smoking nicotine gum.
Please also consult your doctor regarding this. Hope this helps. Take care!
