Worst Reflux EVER Riding While Fasting


(Central Florida Bob ) #1

I had an issue yesterday I’ve never had before: the worst acid reflux of my life while taking a bike ride fasted.

I started riding again about the end of August and have ridden as far as I was when the reflux started many times. The ride itself was longer than any I’ve done since August, an hour long ride, but the reflux started at about the half way mark. Maybe before.

Most my rides have been fasted and I’ve never had this.

I was in utter agony when I got home, and it hurt all day. Even drinking hot tea hurt. About 3 weeks ago, I switched from Prilosec OTC to Zantac when needed and not only haven’t needed it every day, I think I’ve never needed it before dinner. Yesterday was the first real exception.

I know lots of people ride fasted, had this happened? Any ideas what I should do to keep this from happening?
