Train your gut" prior to competition. Find out whether it's best for you to eat a small 300-600 calorie meal one hour before exercise (1-2 gram carbs/kg) or a larger 800-1200 calorie meal four hours before exercise (3-4gram carbs/kg), or something in between. Try liquid meals. Also "train your gut" for drinking 8-16 oz of a sports drink 15 min before exercise and 4-8 oz every 15 minutes during exercise. -- J.

Milk contains a sugar called lactose. In order to digest lactose, the body must produce a special enzyme called lactase. If the body doesn't produce enough lactase, the undigested lactose can cause gas, nausea, cramps, and diarrhea. This is lactose intolerance. Certain groups are more prone to lactose intolerance: Blacks, Native Americans, Asians, the elderly, and the sick.

People often get an upset stomach when they take a supplement with iron. We do not include iron in our supplements. Many people tell us PowerVites is the first multi-vitamin they could take without getting an upset stomach or vitamin "burp". Most supplements should be taken with food. You might want to consider taking PowerSleep with some crackers or your evening meal.

Make sure that your physician is aware of your stomach problems so that he or she can prescribe a pain reliever that does not irritate the stomach or cause bleeding from or ulcers in the stomach, which these medications can sometimes do. Suitable choices may be an aspirin-free pain reliever, such as acetaminophen, or an NSAID that causes fewer GI symptoms (such as salsalate). As an alternative, the physician may prescribe another medication to lessen the side effects of NSAIDs.

To date, the passed-over ones I contact are never angry at the owners for having them "put down" or "put to sleep". The owners are generally beside themselves with anguish, guilt, uncertainty as to whether it was the right decision, regret (if they're not sure it was) and completely understandable grief. Often I hear that they have not gotten over it for many, many years.

Yes. Bananas stimulate the production of mucus and cells in the stomach that create a barrier between the stomach lining and the acidic gastric substances that cause heartburn and stomach upset. If a person is actively vomiting, however, bananas or other solids may not be recommended. In this situation, clear liquids would be more appropriate. Once the person is ready to start eating solid food again, it is best to start with bland food. Bananas are considered a bland food.

There is no guarantee that Fasprin® won't upset your stomach or cause damage. Since Fasprin® is absorbed by the lining of the mouth and carried with about 140 blood vessels, no tablet makes contact with the lining of the stomach to cause direct irritation. Fasprin® reduces the possibility of irritation to the stomach and obtains blood thinning properties. About half of those on low-dose aspirin don't gain the full benefit of blood thinning when they swallow the low-dose aspirin.

In case of an upset stomach or diarrhea, Implanon® will still prevent pregnancy. This is because the hormone in Implanon® is not taken orally and therefore does not have to go through the digestive system.

Levity doesn't normally cause any gastrointestinal difficulties, but if taken on an empty stomach, users may experience a vitamin taste when they burp. We recommend that Levity be taken with a meal, preferably in the morning (remember, it provides natural energy in support of a healthy mood). Users with very delicate stomachs could break the tablet in half, taking each half with a meal, or even try powdering the tablet and adding it to food.

Yes, but DO NOT use race fuel unless your engine is 10.5:1 or higher. This is one of the most common errors I see. Without getting too complex (basically trust me on this), the burn rate of fuel is inverse to its octane rating. 110 octane fuel burns slower than 87 octane. That is fine on a 12:1 engine where the air fuel mixture is compressed tightly and the piston has an irregular shape, but on an engine that is 8.

Yes, silicea Gastrointestinal Gel can be administered to children without any risk, as it is a pure, gently effective natural product without harmful additives such as preservatives. It acts on a purely physical basis by absorbing gases and pathogens and the associated toxins much in the same way as a sponge. The harmful waste substances are subsequently excreted by entirely natural means via the digestive tract.

We move the race locations around from year to year in the United States, this allows as many of our customers as possible to participate and have fun. There are so many locations around the USA that want to hold races that we couldn't possibly have a race at each one, so we've picked areas that we haven't been to yet, or at least recently. This lets new participants join in the fun! If we don't have a race in your area this year, we will probably have one near you next year.
