Ticklish feeling in stomach can't sleep makes it crazy and causes me to constantly move my legs and toss and turn..i'm not sure if it's restless leg?

Iron deficiency : One possible cause could be iron deficiency. Since iron is best absorbed on empty stomach you may be experiencing some stomach problems that are causing poor absorption of iron. This could be why you are having stomach upset. The poor absorption of iron leads to iron deficiency which can be one of the causes for restless leg. Might be worth getting your ferritin and iron levels checked.
