Abstract

AIM

To investigate the belief that running causes diarrhoea and gastroesophageal reflux.

METHODS

Diet and gastrointestinal symptom questionnaires were completed by 93 randomly selected runners and 95 age, sex matched sedentary controls.

RESULTS

The runners ate more fibre and had more frequent bowel movements which were more often loose or urgent. They had less constipation but there was no difference in the use of laxatives or the prevalence of the irritable bowel syndrome. Although most runners tried to empty their bowels before running, the urgent need to have a bowel movement was still the most common reason for a runner to stop during a run. Heartburn, vomiting and bloating were more common when not training while retching, stitches and fecal incontinence were more common when running. Few runners ate before running and upper gastrointestinal symptoms while running were rare.

CONCLUSIONS

Lower gastrointestinal symptoms may be caused by running or the running lifestyle. Upper gastrointestinal symptoms are not due to running alone.

摘要

目的

调查跑步会导致腹泻和胃食管反流这一观点。

方法

93名随机选取的跑步者以及95名年龄、性别匹配的久坐不动的对照者完成了饮食和胃肠道症状调查问卷。

结果

跑步者摄入更多纤维，排便更频繁，且大便更常呈稀便或急迫状。他们便秘较少，但在使用泻药或肠易激综合征患病率方面无差异。尽管大多数跑步者在跑步前试图排空肠道，但急需排便仍是跑步者在跑步过程中停下来的最常见原因。不训练时烧心、呕吐和腹胀更常见，而跑步时干呕、岔气和大便失禁更常见。很少有跑步者在跑步前吃东西，跑步时上消化道症状很少见。
