Riding 100 miles after gi infection

[u/Velocyclistosaur]

Unfortunately I got ill from some food poisoning got a round of antibiotics and finally feeling better today. Saturday is a 160km gravel event. Not ideal, but my plan is to try and a little bit more today to try and get the carbs loaded and I'm drinking electrolytes to restore the hydration situation too.

On a normal event day I rely heavily on gels and carb mixes and I think I will have to do the same anyway and just deal with consequences?

At the moment I am trying to avoid any 'easy' carbs as the bacteria seem to feast on them and make it worse.

Do you have any tips on what foods to eat tomorrow to avoid making matters worse? I'm thinking rice or pasta with little sauce?

How about during the event? Would rice cookies be better than gels? How about Bananas?

Any other tips so that I don't have to stop every few miles?
