I ordered a sampler pack of Science in Sport gels. Any other suggestions for gels that don't throw your stomach into a fit? I've used GU and Clif in the past and I didn't have good experiences with them.
I've had bad experiences with most gels, my stomach gets very upset. For liquid fuel I have had good luck with Heed and Perpetuem. I've also used Cytomax with mixed results as well as powdered Gatorade.
