Can anyone help: Acid reflux type feeling when running

Have him try cutting out onions. This seems to make a huge difference for me.

Eat 5 baby carrots before your run. I guarantee your acid will not bother you during your run.

I've dealt with this a lot - it was interfering with my training and racing (the acid reflux caused an asthma-like constriction in my esophagus).

It might be worth consulting a GI doctor. My problems have been addressed by:

a) smaller meals

b) cutting out wheat, dairy, and chocolate

c) swigging Pepto before runnning

d) taking a prescription drug called Sucralfate.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I had this situation with one of my athletes and it was extremely disabilitating. I bought her some prilosec and after 7-8 days, the problem has been solved for over 3-months. You can find it at any drug store/walmart and it is OTC.

Good luck.

nexium- i get awful acid reflux from running, especially if my diet is unusual. So I just take nexium whenever i start to feel it. I usually only need 1 every few days, but if I don't take it I'll get heartburn every day
