My question is has anyone heard of or used this before? And if so did it work?

Thanks

Like a stitch in the side sort of thing?

I always use to get those jogging when I was a young teenager too. I never get them now.

The solution for me was to not jog until at least 2 hours after I had eaten a meal. When I jog now (or even some other exercises; crunches give me them) immediately after a meal I still get them.

Here's wikipedia, for what it's worth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_stitch

So definitely try jogging on an empty stomach first before you go out and buy anything.

You might be too tensed up while running. Try loosely swinging your arms at your side when you get cramped.

Fish oil burps.

Is there anyway to avoid them from taking fish oil pills? The doods at Pop eyes told me to take some apple cider vinegar pills but I wasn't sure if it would work or not so I didn't buy them.

Anyone have any tips? Can I just take Omega3 pills instead or do they give the same burps?

Take them with a meal, like right before a big breakfast.

I have tried that.. it didn't work.. anyone else have any ideas? I guess the weekend was a bad time to ask, we all like to post during work hours

Thanks everyone for the ideas and suggestions, I will definately give them a try. I think thesutterdynasty is right and it is a side stitch. I am in fairly good shape, I work out regularily and play soccer so Im not sure thats the issue, but hopefully some of that stuff helps.

Make sure your fish oil pills are coated.

I haven't been taking my vitamins for awhile and thought I'd best get back at it. I saw fish oil pills at the store and decided I'd try them out. Damn they are huge, it's like trying to swallow a small stone! Here's hoping they will do my body some good.

Ok so I am trying this new N O stuff called Black Powder.. and it is rank.

I didn't ween myself on to it so I couldn't get to bed till like 4 AM the other night.

Anyone else give it a go or have a preferred NO brand?

Yeah they are huge. I could barely swallow them when I started taking them last year, but now I can pop three at a time. If I was gay I'd be damn popular yo.
