I hope this topic is more common than i suspect. I raced yesterday - MTB endurance based on 12 mile loops for ten hours. I quit after five laps b/c of nausea. This has happens to me frequently - i had horrible nausea during the 2nd half of the Leadville 100 three years ago. I find the sensations ha…

Don’t have the nausea, but definitely get the struggling to breath thing while trying to take in food at high HR / effort level. Do you have issues with taking on these fuels while not riding? I’d suggest trying them out to see how your gut reacts to those products while off the bike. Could be th…

Sounds like a couple of issues 1. On breathing 2. On digestion. On breathing, take some extra deep/quick breaths before drinking. Like mild hyperventilating. This will get rid of some extra CO2 and allow you to “hold” your breath for longer than normal when drinking. All you need is a few seconds t…

Thanks guys. Cerb - i occasionally do a recovery drink with the same mix, cutting back on the amount of mix and adding in some protein powder. No stomach issues then. Dave - advice seems spot on. I need to decouple the issues and and isolate the problems. Do you carry water only and take on nutri…

@jascald did you try the Alberto Salazar sol’n and just go ahead and yak? You might be surprised how much that can help… I’m not a doctor or a medical professional. I don’t normally yak during races. Any other disclaimers you can think of as well…

@Brennus - haven’t gone there yet. Will keep it in my back pocket as plan b :face_vomiting::+1:

I get nausea and stomach cramps from gels and/or to much sodium intake from electrolyte mixes. I have found a way around this by taking water only on the bike and replacing gels with baby food (in sachets). This also gives me some option away from all the sweet only options in sports bars, gels, and…

How is your dental health? I’ve found having a few too many bacteria and cavities seems to worsen any stomach issues.

I was thinking more about training your body to accept the intake of nutrition and experimenting with what your body like at a high rate more then nutritional requirements.
