Last had a chat with Joe at Scottish 6 days 2003, where I seem to remember he was getting some pretty impressive results, so his youthful diet didn't do him too much lasting harm! As far as I know he's still in NZ.

Unless you are Gazza. In his autobiography he recounts how he would often have a double brandy before a match and also had a hip flask of brandy in the changing room which he would occasionally drink at half time as well.
Prodigious talent - maybe it was the brandy that pickled the brain.

I was diagnosed with UC in 1999 so I can tell you all about needing to find a toilet fast before, after, during.... a run or any type of exercise. According to my consultant your digestive system is placed under a significant amount of stress when you run because your body diverts fluid/blood to areas of the body that need it more. So my advice is to make sure that you are very well hydrated before you exercise and that may help aleviate some of the stress on your tummy.
Because I ran I realised very quickly that something wasn't right and got to a specialist quite early on and I am sure that has helped me in the long run - so another piece of advice is if this is more than a one off thing then keep an eye on it and get it checked out. You would be amazed at the number of sports people who have Crohns or UC or similar sorts of things!

That's an interesting thing to say - more than in the general population?
Is that because - as you suggest - they realise earlier that they have a problem - or is it because they are doing something that brings on the conditions?

Have a look at this pagehttp://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1997/11nov/putukian.htm if you want to find out a bit more about sports people and GI problems
(GI - Gastrointestinal UC - Ulcerative Colitis)
I haven't found info on rate in normal population versus athletes but I guess that is hard to determine as many athletes will have to drop out when they get it - you can't train seriously when it is active.

My friend used to do international triathlon and her body (especially her stomach and 'female' parts!!) were pretty buggered, so I think it must be to do with the strain you're putting your body under - maybe ease off a bit?
I'm not lost, I just don't know my precise location in the environment...
