OMG.<BR/><BR/>Could it be stress related? It usually is for me.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Laura (above). I can't remember if you're a coffee drinker, but you may want to kick that habit (for me, life's not worth living without java, so I still have it). <BR/><BR/>The only other thing that I can suggest is Nexium. Since my sis is a doctor, I have sampled it with good success :) So, if it continues, you might want to give that a try. It sounds like you just might have a bit of a bug or something, so I wouldn't go straight to the drugs.<BR/><BR/>I enjoy reading your blog, superstar!<BR/>AudreyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545912109182260290.post-42761013536755989262009-04-02T08:47:00.000-07:002009-04-02T08:47:00.000-07:00Hi Lauren,Bad stomach - hate that! Have you tried...Hi Lauren,<BR/><BR/>Bad stomach - hate that! Have you tried taking some probiotics? Sometimes taking acidophilus will help your body bring the gut bacteria back in balance. You can take it even if you are sensitive to dairy. What kind of food/gels do you take when you train? Lots of us get gut rot from gels/bars and have tried Brendan Brazier's Thrive Diet recipes. Direct fuel bites are awesome energy during long rides & training and are really easy on the dig system. Google his name and check them out - he has gels, energy bars, recovery food. I was skeptical, but I really think I'm doing really with it. Just a thought!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13820101450893815098noreply@blogger.com
