I'm training for my first IM (Florida) and I've been experimenting with Gatorade Endurance formula as a way of getting my electrolytes, above and beyond what's in regular sport drink and gels. However I find that it causes stomach cramping. Even at half strength, or chasing with water, I get discomfort. It hasn't really created a big problem, but I want to think there might be something that better agrees with me. Not to mention, since it does cause some cramping, I'm discouraged from drinking it.
I know there are other methods such as e-caps and lava salt tabs. I was wondering if anyone on here has had a similar experience where an electrolyte drink caused problems but a caplet/tab/pill form worked better. Thanks.
