  1. I'm a fairly amateur runner. I probably run 10 miles a week. Recently
    I've been having a problem with a pain developing in my mid abdomen
    after about 15 minutes of running. It feels like stomach acid, kind of
    a burning sensation. It subsides when I stop running. I haven't
    altered my diet at all, so I can't think of why this is happening.
    Would taking antacids be a good idea? Any other suggestions?

    A possibility is acid-reflux. I would especially suspect this if the pain
    moves up towards the chest. For some people treatment is as simple as not
    eating ½ to 1 hour before running. There are also OTC meds that work for
    some individuals. And, of course, it wouldn't hurt to see your physician.

    Your stomach is more near the center of your chest. Where are these pains
    again?

  4. If the pain is from acid reflux you may have a low acid problem. I
    had pain like that for years and took various OTC antacids that only
    temporarily relieved the problem.
    Finally went to a nutritionist who put me on digestive enzymes. The
    nutritionist told me I had low stomach acid which meant that food was
    not properly decomposing in my stomach and causing acid reflux. I
    thought she was crazy, but tried it and it work. Also allowed me to
    loose weight and increase my running performance.
