How it's used

〜すぎる attaches to the masu-stem (食べ → 食べすぎる) to mean 'do too much', and its te-form 食べすぎて states the cause of what follows — here the stomachache. The result 痛くなりました demands a causal link: overeating causes pain. ながら implies parallel deliberate actions, やすい describes the food's eatability, and そう describes appearance — none creates the cause-and-effect the sentence needs.
