Abstract
In brief: Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a troubling yet intriguing complication of distance running. This clinical overview traces our evolving understanding of the scope and importance of GI bleeding in runners and other athletes, and discusses the diverse causes, sites, and implications of exercise-related GI bleeding. It concludes with practical tips to prevent or mitigate this problem, including gradual conditioning, avoidance of prerace aspirin intake, and when indicated, therapy with antacids, H2 blockers, or iron.Keywords
