Subject: accelerade and GI issues
So yesterday during a 2 1/2 hour training ride, I tried to match anticipated HIM consumption.  I used accelerade for the first time (2 bottles).  Felt fine during the exercise but not so hot afterward (camps and other related GI issues).  So my question is whether to assume this formula does not work with my system.  Could it be the protein?  All I could think of was how miserable I would be if I have to start my run given what my stomach felt like. 

Any advice much appreciated.

I would always get a very loose stool after training or racing with Accelerade, so I stopped using it. Instead I just go with Gatorade or something similar...it tastes much better to me.

Maybe.  I've used it many times (the mix for my water bottles) and also the gels, never had any problems. 

Probably a few more long rides to see if it is a constant problem.  Than you can check that product off of things to use.
