Hello!  I am 19 years old and just started running about 6 weeks
ago.  Every time I run (about 3 times a week for about 3 miles) my lower stomach hurts afterwards.  I always wait about 2 hours after I eat to run,
and the meals I eat are not huge meals or anything.  It is very discouraging
knowing that every time I want to run or work out that I will be in pain
afterwards.
Thanks for your time!

 Answer:

 Dear Kelly,
 
There may be several causes of the symptoms you are getting: dietary, fluid levels, bladder or bowel related, to name but a few.
I would suggest that you consult your family doctor for assessment and necessary advice.
 
Kind regards

Answer:

Dear Joan,

There are many possible causes of abdominal pain/cramps. Over consumption of food or fluids less than a couple of hours before a run can cause stomach cramps. If your symptoms persist I would recommend that you consult your family doctor.

It would help if you tried to avoid eating meals too close to your training sessions. Also avoid caffeinated drinks which can over-stimulate your digestive system.

]]> Question:

I have recently started running and find that 15 minutes into my run I need the toilet (not to wee), Even if my stomach has worked in the day already. How do I get around this? Walking helps but if I start running races – this won’t help!
