Rice - very good for absorbing the spare gastric fluids.

Doesn't do you any harm and you can eat as much as you want of freshly cooked rice.

Also keep hydrated not only topping up with water- but fizzy lemonade that has been left open to go flat- you don't want the gas adding to your woes but the sugars in one fizzy lemonade are also good for topping up lost hydration. Not coke - or IrnBru or any other kind of fizzy - just non diet regular fizzy lemonade

or ask the chemist for rehydration packets that you stir in to water. They contain much the same things.

Lemonade is cheaper.

Hope your runs end pretty soon.
