when I start running immediately start getting side stiches. I run after I eat, because I want to burn the calories. But, if eating causes the side stiches, then what is the purpose of eating after running?

Side "stitches" are diaphragm cramps. Ramp up and down slowly on your exertion.

It doesn't matter so much whether you eat before or after, as your body will burn the same number of calories when you run regardless. The thing is, you are hungrier after you exercize than before, which means you will eat more. So, eat at least one hour before you run. And warm up...

Wait an hour or two and don't drink soda.
