Someone told me that in the Bible it says that you're not supposed to eat animals that crawl on their belly...
Is this true?....
Where in the Bible can it be found?

Leviticus 11:42
Whatsoever goes upon the belly, and whatsoever goes upon all four, or whatsoever has more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

That might have been true for Israel, but the Gentiles were not given any such restriction. Gentiles are restricted from eating anything with the blood still in it.
Acts 21:25
As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they should abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality."

It is true. However, it only applies to Jews. Gentiles, non-Jews, don't have to be kosher
