Sounds interesting! I never have problems with my tummy when running... as of yet. kock on wood! Sometimes I may get nauseous after a race when I have pushed myself harder than usual, but it isn't bad tummy problems!
Great giveaway! I have very sensitive stomach so this is great!
i'll link back in my next post! thank you!
great giveaway! sounds like an interesting product
I took probiotics for about 18 months after my gall bladder surgery to deal with a couple of issues on that list, and they were a life saver (probably not literally, but it felt like it sometimes). I don't generally have stomach issues while running, but i fully endorse probiotics for those who do!
I'd love to win this for my sista. She has some major issues, and has to take immodium before every long run. I'm concerned with how that will affect her body in the future!
Yeah, I'm with Jogger's sister on the immodium before every long run deal. It's the lesser of two evils.
My latest fave thing for the summer is Neutrogena Ultimate Sport sunscreen - I love me some sunscreen in a big way, but this stuff is ultra-sweatproof. Exactly what I need in the 900% humidity we've been having lately.
The fiance could use these - he seems to throw up on almost every run!
I'll add a link back. And my favorite product of the moment? Garmin 305 of course!
Count me in for this one! My stomach often gets a little jumpy (or a lot jumpy) when I'm running in the afternoons. Still working on figuring out how to minimize it.
I know you've read my blog and heard my horror stories. I do have tummy trouble always, but esp. when running. I have been taking Align a probiotic for people with IBS. I'd love to try your stuff and to review it on my blog...
A few weeks ago I was in Mexico and somehow got a nice little bacterial infection in my tummy. After taking meds to kill it all I had to go back to replacing all the good bacteria. I wish I knew about this product inside of an all yogurt diet!!
Count me in...maybe I need it and don't even realize it! :)
Wow! I'm excited! I am an Imodium user, never knew there could possibly be an alternative! Can't wait to win it or hear a good reveiw! Thanks!
LOL! I need to start a blog just so that I can have double entry into all of the blogging world giveaways! :)
I made a link from my blog!
That's pretty cool, I used to have issues, but not so much anymore.
Great giveaway! .. I've never tried any other products though (I probably should though... hint hint)
great giveaway! i always seem to run after eating fiber...bad idea.
I would LOVE to try this product out and report back. I am just starting to run again after about 2 years off (I owned a restaurant during that time). I deal with stomach issues each time I run (no matter what I eat or don't eat) - horrible burning and then stomach cramps, etc. It's not only embarrassing when I run with others but also a major hassle!
I have a giveaway today too!!!! I really want to try these:)
I like your new layout!
Linked back too!
I am the queen of stomach problems when I run!!
Your comment made me sad...I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I know it must be hard. Hang in there, you'll be back out there soon!
This is definitely something that I need with all the issues I have with my stomach in general. It seems like dairy, fake sugars, Gatorade, and even more than a little bit of certain grains, beans, and veggies will drive my stomach bonkers. Guaranteed issues after every long run too.
Wow this sounds amazing, and like something I could totally use. Running makes my innards go crazy, messing up digestion and what not. Mid-run. Ick.
I have all kinds of tummy troubles. I'd love to try this product out!!
the best thing I did for my stomach was to switch over to almond milk.
I don't have stomach problems (thankfully), but hopefully it works for someone. Sounds interesting.
I hereby submit my application for product tester! Super giveaway! I would love to try Vitazorb and report back.
I have some many tummy problems...of course if I eat the wrong food before my run, its even worse!
Would love to be able to try these out:)
Vitazorb sounds great!
I haven't tried the probiotics yet, not sure where to start. This would be great - I love to run in the a.m. but usually 'run' into tummy problems!
:)
Loving the blog!!!!!
Wow, this sounds like something I could use!!
my doctor told me i need to take probiotics daily for the next few months, but they're so expensive! i would be so grateful to win these.
Cool giveaway! I tend to have tummy problems, but I think that when I drink enough water that seems to do the trick!
I haven't tried probiotics, but i have heard great things about them!
My tummy hurts a lot. I could use something like this.
As far as a new product, I know soy is not very popular in the blogosphere right now, but I bought dark chocolate silken tofu and it was just like pudding. So good.
Ugh...I TOTALLY missed this one. Oh man do I get stomach issues on the run. It is not pretty. Oh well, goes to show that I need to stay up to date on my blogs.
