Runners Connect published guidance on preventing runner's gut, describing research-backed approaches. It reports that two weeks of gut training cut symptoms by about 60 percent, and recommends low-fiber pre-race meals and a 28-day probiotic. On Imodium, the outlet notes that no published trial has tested the medication in runners before a race. It advises that Imodium be tested on long runs first and that the dose never exceed 8 mg in 24 hours. This is the only report in the current coverage, so no conflicting figures or competing claims have been reported.
