Hi everyone. Sorry it has taken so long to summarize but i've been
extremely busy. I had asked a question regarding stomach cramps/pain
after intense workouts. Many of you have reported similar problems,
some with the following remedies, some with no remedy or solution. The
advice is listed below:
1) 2 people suggested having sports drinks or juices post exercise
for the sugar, electrolytes, and sodium, This has helped prevent
stomach cramps.
2) 3 people suggested I am drinking too much water and am probalby
causing too much bloating which is causing the cramps. One
suggested drinking water before and after exercise but not during.
3) 2 people said i probably do not have enough food in my stomach
4) 1 suggested deepbreathing to get more oxygen into my lungs
5) 1 suggested i might be taking too much supplemental calcium.
She had this problem, and since cutting back has had no problems.
6) 1 suggested trying candied ginger, shich is calming to the
stomach, after workouts. He takes this and has had good success.
I have not tried any of the above yet. I know I cannot cut down on the
water I dring during a workout, and I'm pretty sure I have plenty of
food in my stomach, (I have delayed stomach emptying as well, so i'm
pretty sure there is always food in there). I do breathe quite well and
get plenty of O2, I think i might try the sports drinks/juice ro the
ginger, and see what happens. I've been GF for over 1 1/2 years (as per
one questioner), so I don't believe it has anything to do with gluten.
Thanks to all for your advice. i will try some of the above and keep
you all posted. God Bless. Kathy V
