"Wa" is a topic marker, "ga" is a restrictive subject marker.
In Sangetsu's example above, the topic is you and the subject is your stomach. In a way, the sentence:
Onaka ga itai
is kind of short for:
Watashi wa onaka ga itai
Literally: I'm talking about me, and the tummy hurts.
(Sorry, not very helpful I guess)
