I hate stopping on long rides. I hate running out of water. I don't like hydration packs on road rides. I don't own bike bags with water bladders (yet). I sweat a LOT.

I posit that >95% of people's GI issues in training and racing ARE related to:
- timing of hydration intake & overall hydration status
or - glucose:fructose ratio management. Usually too much glucose.
or - Complexity of carb source, usually turned to because of desired lower carb intake rate, decided upon because of erroneous belief they're intaking too much fuel for gut issue avoidance.
And NOT related to:
- Excessive fueling.
