if a carb up causes anyone diarrhea, theyre doing it wrong.

it should never effect you negatively except maybe a little fatigue and/or bloating.

it probably depends on you specifically. carb ups never really upset my stomach or anything.

If you get this worked up about it, your nerves will destroy your stomach faster than any carb.

A diet will not help you do better on an exam. You're going to medical school?

I don't think she's suggesting she'll do better...I think she's saying she doesn't want "the runs" while taking her test?

OK ..

1. I didnt want to run to the restroom during the exam, therefore the diarrhea question . Only reason I asked is because I read a thread about someone having to run to the rest room all the time. I cannot do this during the most important exam of my life.

2. A sudden burst of carbs can lead to a crash, esp if you had a zero intake for 3 weeks. I cant crash during the test either.

3. The reason I asked about brain functionality is, brain only uses glucose as its source form of energy and therefore a more active brain could be expected.

Since this is the first time I'm doing a carb- up, I will not experiment with this the day before my exam. I will do it at a later time.
