I really like Skratch...at least the idea of it. Basic, no frills, not lot's of sugar electrolyte replacement. My problem is that it seems to make me very distressed in the GI department. I tend to have massive belching when I use it. Wondering if anyone else had experienced this and what they switched to in order to alleviate gastric issues. Hot temps will be arriving on the front range of Colorado pretty soon, so I'd like to have something to try.

Switched from others, not Skratch, but you might compare here....e-Fuel vs. Skratch Labs Hydration Competitive Comparison
