Have you heard of this? I have a colleague who stopped running a couple of months ago, saying that running was too violent and was causing his acid reflux. Do you have any experience in this area or suggestions for him? Yes, he has been to the doctor.

For any runs of 45 minutes or longer, i really have to throw down a Zantac. Otherwise, it can get kind of painful. The Zantac works though.

I've had a couple bouts of gastritis during which running set off really bad reflux. I took Pepcid before running and that worked for me until my stomach healed.

Use your momentum...keep going. You know you can make it.

Is he eating and drinking fluids before his runs? I stopped drinking until 1 hour after eating. No more reflux. Big grin
