I finished eating supper about 45 mins ago and drank a glass of water. I started getting pains going clear down my torso starting about an inch and a half to the left of by breastbone trailing down to between two and three inches to the left of my naval. anyone have any idea what could be causing this or if you know of anything that has these symptoms. however, i know that it isn't an allergic reaction because i have had this same meal many times before.

Drinking water straight after or during a meal is never a good idea as it dilutes the digestive acids and juices needed for proper digestion. You have just diluted yours and now you have a nasty case of indigestion! It will pass, drink no more water for a bit and refrain from doing it with meals again. Walking around a bit and sitting upright will help a little. Digestive enzyme complex can help if it is a frequent thing.
I have had this sort of thing come in from time to time and people do not realise just how much that glass of water can play up with your digestion.
Hope this helps.
