After I ride long motos, especially on a rough track, I get a bad upset stomach/stomach ache for the rest of the day. I assume this is from everything getting bounced around. Any of you experience this?

Yes. I always wear a kidney belt under my jersey. Can't imagine how bad it would be without it. Lol

It's not the moto, it's the Pantera. I'll send a shipper to pick it up pronto. Doctors orders and all....you'll be fine in no time!

That is strange but yeah it's gotta be from all your organs moving all over the place and the pressure on your stomach also.

Always happens to me so I wear a kidney belt and try to almost never sit down for too long.

I realized quickly on that my organs shake around a lot more and I get sick faster when I am sitting down too much.

Nausea (stomach cramps) is a beginning sign of heat stroke - is it hot out and are you hydrating the day before?

Nahhh........... I train 5 days a week in the gym, don't eat sweets or sugary food, and drink a gallon of water every day, so definitely not dehydrated. The track was quite rough Saturday, but it was only 70 degrees.... not even close to heat stroke. I came very close to heat stroke once riding in 115 heat, so I know what that feels like. lol

When you say wretched stomach do you mean your gut like you want to puke? or lower intestine like you have cramps?

Yeah, no puking. Just intestinal cramps. Like I said, I'm pretty sure its from all the jostling, and was curious how many others get this. Doesn't sound like too many though.........

I had that problem previously before I started wearing the kidney belt but the kidney belt fixed it. How is your core strength? Maybe stronger core muscles will help hold the organs still? It's not an overnight fix but it's worth a shot. Especially if you don't currently have a core workout that you do somewhat regularly.

Never happened to me on short motos, but after I quit MX/SX I started doing enduros for fun and found that afterwards I would sometimes get a headache and massive nausea.

Long trail rides where I would get too hot would also give me incredible nausea to the point that I had to pull over a couple of times to throw up.

I dont think it was to do with hydration as i'd always drink plenty of water but i put it down to plain old motion sickness from riding rough terrain for long periods.

The cure for me was ginger. I'd cut up some fresh ginger root the night before and let it soak in boiling water overnight, and put about 500mls of this in with my camel back. Never got sick on a ride again.

Later I found you can also get (in Australia anyway) ginger travel sickness tablets that work just as well without the hassle of needing to prepare a broth.

Give that a try and see how you go.

Jump in the sack with the old lady and "move those organs around" and see if your stomach is still upset after. Wink

I get it too! Mainly I go woods racing, but sometimes after a day of long hot motos though too, like a pro-am. I've dealt with it since I was like 14, I'm still not sure exactly what causes it but I figure it has something to do with the way my body breaks down through long races. No matter how much I drink, what supplements I take my hands cramp in long offroad races and get locked to the bars, I don't notice it while Im riding but have to have someone unbend my fingers for me. The same thing happens with my stomach, No matter how much I eat, drink, or push during a 2+ hour race about 30 mins after riding I get something that feels like gas pains, sharp pains in my gut and stomach that can last hours. I could barely stand it hurt so bad waiting for my trophy one day and one of my buddies dads came over and was talking and his son had the same thing. Try drinking a can of Coke, that was his trick and it works for me. I drink mainly water, eat healthy, hydrate but I keep a cold can of coke in the cooler at any harescramble or enduro I ride. SIP on it after you're getting undressed and hanging out, its the only thing thats ever helped.

I'm going to lean on diet, and dehydration is the result of your ill feeling stomach.

Try Zantac 75 or 150. (not zanex)

Maybe your drinking too much water and diluting yourself out of electrolytes.

Drink some milk in the morning and right after you ride. Can help with recovery.

I wonder do you only get the cramps when riding ?

Hey man, just wondering if you ever found a cure for this? I seem to get the same problem and tried a few different things with diet and drinks and never changes. Any help would be great

^^^^ I think this fella is right. I've been riding a long time and never remotely had that happen. Try it without the belt, maybe it's your internals/stomach muscles getting back to normal form after having the crap squeezed out of them.
