Did you know an estimated 70% of runners have experienced GI issues or 'tummy troubles' while training or competing?
70-f******* percent!
While 'runner's diarrhea' is generally thought to be the "worst" symptom to experience, GI symptoms during exercise can include nausea, vomiting, cramps, bloating, or burping.

So, if you struggle with GI issues during running, you're not alone!
