After years of guzzling high-5 and other energy powder brands, I am starting to think that the awful gut symptoms I get 2 days after the weekends riding could be down to a fructose malabsorption issue. If I have a weekend where I don't consume said energy powder / protein shakes then I don't get the "has something died" issue.
I cannot be alone in this regard and thought I'd ask to see whether anyone else has found a suitable replacement for the fructose / glucose based drinks?
Thanks

Probably doesn't help you but I no longer use gels due to cost and disliking the taste, for sub hour races/sub 2 hour ride I dont eat, but generally put a bag of [url= http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/gb/groceries/sainsburys-fruit-jellies-250g ]these[/url] in my back pocket to munch on for longer rides. They taste much nicer than gels and don't seem to have any adverse affects (unlike some energy gels)
