Re: probiotics and race day

["Carolyn S. Loedeman" <tawasentha@ohiohills.com>]

I use ride rite electrolites and probi from ABC,s and use before, during and
after with the electrolites and always have A's on gut sounds and hydration.
I was introduced to the ABC products when I went to the 93 ROC and have used
them since as what I had used before just was not doing the job and now have
no complaints.

Why? Does one or the other work faster? Does one give probiotics as often as
electrolytes? Do electrolytes inhibit the work of the probitics?
