I always carry toilet paper, and have to use it most days. Sometimes many times. It stinks. I know how you feel.

Jon is there anything you know that might settle the stomach before a run. Just finished my second run and I had to hit the bathroom twice in a half hour!!!

Ben, I've been thinking about joining FRB for awhile. Once I saw that you joined I thought it would be OK.

Im glad to see that elites like you have body problems now and then too.

I don't know anything. I don't eat veggies the day before a race, which helps during the race. But I obviously can't give up veggies all the time.

Everyone is different. Just experiment with various foods.
