rf_fozzy Apr 2012 12:06pm, 25 Apr 2012 2,476 posts	0 rf_fozzy Ok, after a bit more research this morning, my symptoms seem to suggest I either need to try Cimetidine or Omeprazole. I think. Former is a H2 receptor blocker and the latter is a proton-pump inhibitor. Will look at the mechanisms etc and see which is best, but the above article suggests that Cimetidine might be a better match to my exact symptoms. It might also depend on which I can get without prescription. Will go and get some this tomorrow and see if it makes a difference this weekend.

JohnnyO Apr 2012 2:12pm, 25 Apr 2012 12,562 posts	0 JohnnyO Also, and having read the article, I would be cautious with acid inhibitors if you have eaten recently. They will allow more rapid gastric emptying which will result in higher osmolarity small bowel content which could worsen things at the other end. I think whatever you try you should test carefully. Ranitidine is a better drug than cimetidine and will do the same thing (without moobs) and is readily and cheaply available over the counte. Omeprazole is available OTC, but remains quite expensive.
rf_fozzy Apr 2012 2:22pm, 25 Apr 2012 2,481 posts	0 rf_fozzy Johnny - are you suggesting that it will lead to diarrhoea? This may not be an issue because if you read back, I get nervousness-related constipation. Hipps suggested taking it the day before and the morning of the race. And would only be for longer races.
