I posted this question over in nutrition, but didn't get any responses (it's a gross subject, I'll admit). I did a 45km leg of a triathlon (the cycle bit) and this was my first race. I took with me two large-size bottles filled with water mixed with a packet powder called Electrolyte Stamina. I drank both during the course of the ride. Felt fine during and after.
A couple hours post-race I had a problem. I won't go into detail but suffice it to say I didn't have to go #1 the whole time but all that fluid needed to go *somewhere*.
Now, gross-out jokes aside -- was this a result of drinking all electro-water? Or something else?
