You don’t need to be part of the peloton to struggle with gastrointestinal troubles while cycling—professionals and enthusiasts alike can be subject to the same mix of bloating, gas, nausea, and digestive urgency.
The good news is that consuming more probiotics can help, according to a new study in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.
Researchers recruited 27 male cyclists ranked as elite or category 1, and gave about half of them a multi-strain daily probiotic for 90 days, while the other cyclists received a placebo. At the start, they all completed a GI symptoms questionnaire and underwent tests for oxygen consumption and time-to-fatigue at 85 percent of max power. They also had inflammatory markers tested through a blood draw.
