My GI Distress Plan.,for cycling

Ok last year I started developing problems with nausea while cycling. (odd cause this never happens while running) It hasn't been a been problem over the winter but I did recently have a bit of trouble so I except that when heat increases it may become a problem again. So .... here's the plan. (This is a apart of of my overall hydration plan but for now just covering this one issue.)

The sports doc thinks the problem is gastric. Gastric nausea is basically caused by irritation, like excess acidity, or just from food sloshing around, also irritating bile acids back up from the intestine up into the stomach. As you exercise, blood is diverted away from the stomach to supply your muscles. Digesting food slows and then all kinds of things go wrong and barfing occurs.

So to help control this..
1. Instead of eating a big meal before rides I'll eat high carb meals the night before.

2. Limit food intake to smaller, frequent intakes during riding. Also I'll be taking different carb (sugar) sources.

3. Limit fluid intake to about 70% of what I'm losing during training. The rest will be replaced after rides.

4. No ice cold water bottles for me as the colder the water the slower it empties from the stomach and greater the chance of problems. To compensate in extreme heat when drinking ice water helps lower body temperatures, I'll be provided ice water to spray down with.

5. Preventive measures.. I'm going to start adding a stomach acid reducer to my daily supplements. (Meds.. great..sarcasm) Also I'll carry ginger & crackers on my bike.

*2. Example sports drinks, fruit and honey.
*3. This should be enough fluids to hydrate with out effecting performance. It will also help cut down on lost time. (peeing time) LOL seriously on average it takes women twice as long or more to stop and urinate as it does men. Every time I stop I lose on average 4 to 5 minutes of cycling time over the coarse of a long ride this adds up.

Crazy ass winds today so cardio indoors..

Spin:
Total Time: 2.30 hours
Warm-Up
15:00 (five minutes) - Spinning at Zone 1 intensity

5:00 - Spinning at 90+ revolutions per minute (rpm), Zones 1 to 3
Main Set
3:00 - Seated climb with the bike tension set so your rate of perceived exertion (RPE) is Zone 2 to 3
1:00 - Easy spinning recovery, Zone 1
2:30 - Seated climb (Zone 2 to 3), then increase tension and stand for 30 seconds (Zone 4 to 5b, keeping it on the low end of the range if you're just starting hill work.)
1:00 - Easy spinning recovery, Zone 1

I'm working on it.. I'm planning on seeing a specialist soon. I think it's related to my inability to digest fats well... and it's gotten worse or something.. idk..
