My mom has always said I'll get a stomach ache, but I don't believe it.

Just an old wives myth. Go ahead shower away! Now if you eat and go swim you could end up with cramps, and a stomach ache. Same as if you eat then go for a run.

Humm I just heard that swimming after eating can cause stomach ache but a shower.. I don't really think so as you're not moving a lot in a shower usually!

if i shower after eating i always get a stomach ache, but it might be caused by the fact that i always punch myself in the stomach while i shower.. not sure

it quite is from the chinese language classic perception that when you eat you have extra 'warmth' and having a shower will reason 'wind' to construct up on your abdomen, inflicting cramps and muscle aches and pains. whilst i does not be so rapid to brush off it as 'rubbish', i think of you may desire to take it with a pinch of salt.

No! It's bad to go swimming up to an hour after you eat, because you need at least an hour to digest your food past it causing a problem.
LOL I think you have a small hot water heater at your house, and Mom wants you to wait until the dishes are done first!
Great trick, Mom!

no i don't think so
it's not the same as swimming, where you move around and can get cramps
just standing in the shower has never done harm to anyone i know after eating, so...

NO. Your mother just believes an "old wives tale." You are in no danger. If she asks you if you have eaten before you take a shower or if after you shower she asks if you have eaten just say no to put her mind at ease.

no, that is only for swimming in a pool where you cant touch, because you have to use your stomache muscles to digest food, and also to tread water
