Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

A couple of weeks after having surgery on my foot I started doing regular exercise initially chair based and then low impact (mostly strength and gentle cardio) Last week I felt poorly and stopped exercising and haven’t done any since. Today I realised that I haven’t taken Gaviscon since I stopped exercising. It had got to the stage I was having to take it after every meal.

There’s clearly a link.

Any ideas? I want to start exercising again!

Sounds unpleasant. I don’t suffer from this so don’t know if I can offer any advice. Hopefully someone with knowledge will pop along soon.

One question I would ask is, how much of a gap do you leave between eating food and exercise? Most of my training runs are morning ones which I do on an empty stomach then have breakfast after. With longer runs on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon I like to leave it a couple of hours after eating. Don’t know if that is a significant factor in issues with reflux and exercise.

I just did a search for a reflux thread! I’ve been suffering with reflux during marathon runs on and off for 2 years. I ran 3 marathons 2 weeks ago without any issues then today on lap 4 of a marathon I started with hiccups and had to power walk the last 8km because the discomfort is so intense and running makes me feel like I’m going to be sick! I am going to see about carrying Gaviscon sachets if they still make them so I can try and nip this in the bud but I was hoping to find some fetchies who may have had similar experiences and other remedies! I finished my marathon around 2:30 and it takes hours to settle afterwards! I’m still not right!

Got something to say?
