I suppose it makes some sense as the most common side effect that is troublsome in clinical use is constipation - maybe it just balances out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16408662.post-1139322805256901892006-02-07T09:33:00.000-05:002006-02-07T09:33:00.000-05:00Don't forget about Sport Beans!

How many people can say that? <BR/>More power to you if you can stomach the gu; I've tried and I just can't do it. I'm not at all good at keeping my calories up when I'm running and that's definitely a downfall. A friend suggested gummy bears--they're like gu in that they're pretty much pure sugar, but they taste better and go down a lot easier. I have a lot of friends, though, who swear by Gu, so I guess whatever floats your boat!Anonymous Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17535873074365279392noreply@blogger.com
