Differences between good and well

Hi to everyone,

I just wanted to know the main differences in terms of meaning of the two following sentences:

I am not feeling good

I am not feeling well

Thanks in advance for those who will reply ! (and correct my faults as the case may be)

Good is often mistakenly used in place of well by both native and non-native speakers. Take a look at the differences between the adjective and adverb form which is certainly one of the most common mistakes in English. The most important distinction is that 'well' describes how someone does something, whereas 'good' is used to describe a noun such as "good times", "good food", etc.
Good is an adjective and well is an adverb.

In your sentences both "good and "well" could be used although in conversation "good" would be heard more often. Here is a link that might make this a little clearer: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/good-versus-well?page=1

After checking out the link you gave me, it seems that both those expressions are not correct grammatically...it is now getting really confusing ! I will just try to stick to the ideas of feelings (I'm good) or health (I'm well) given by Mogina. Hopefully it is how native speakers do... ;-)
