If I eat dinner and am full, you can logically conclude that eating causes fullness.

What other possible causes could there be fullness after eating other than eating?
Try this instead: What if you eat dinner then an hour later throw up. Can you logically
conclude that eating caused the vomiting? While certainly the food is one possible cause, there are other causes of vomiting. If you prematurely blame food poisoning you may stop looking for the cause and miss it completely.

Are you telling me that an immediate reaction to something that was never before felt does not come from that something?

I am saying it might or might not, depending on what that something is and what that feeling is, and that jumping to a conclusion about causation can be dangerous. See my vomiting example.
