い adjective + くて + verb


I encountered this sentence:

> おなかが **いたくて** たべられません

and got confused with くて. Isn't it used for adding いadjectives? Why is it
followed by a verb in the example given? Can I use いたく instead? How will it
change the meaning if I use **いたく** たべられません?




Whew. Found the answer. Note C Page 467 of A Dictionary of Basic Grammar
(gotta love this book) where it states that the action/state expressed by the
first predicate is the reason for or the cause of the action/state of 2nd
predicate. Example given on the book : このスープはからくて飲めない.

Should I just delete my question?
