Running and Low-Residue Diets

A few months ago I determined that my capacity to tolerate different foods seems to increase when I run. I think the activity stimulates the bowels (much the way coffee does), which eases the digestion of certain foods. I don't know if there is any truth to this, but I did feel healthier when I was spending more time on the cardio. And, it wasn't simply the "runner's high" or general well-being that comes from completing a good workout. My instances of acid reflux seemed to decrease.

I am incorporating more running into my workout routines with the hope that these benefits will continue.
