Grammar
If + will
Hi,
A: "Just don't worry about it."
B: "I won't because if I do/will, my stomach will hurt."
It's a silly question, but I'm not sure if both options are possible in this particular example. I prefer the first version with 'do' in this case. I can't really put my finger on it though.
I know the rules when it comes to using ‘if+will’, but this example puzzles me for some reason.
Thank you.

Only "do" works. Generally speaking we do not use future tense "will" in "if" conditions (there are some exceptions).
