Stitch/side pain lower abdominal pain

Anybody any suggestions on how to reduce effects of stich/side.
What do you guys do. Other force the exhale?
Thanks in advance.

Nobody?

I’ve not had a side stitch since I was a young kid 30+ years ago. Only when running though. IIRC it was just a case of getting fitter. I don’t run much these days as I value my knees :wink:

I exhale all air out, clamp my hands down on the spot, and then inhale super quick. I know that seems ridiculously stupid, but it works for me. It’s usually a hydration or electrolyte issue for me, and usually when running.

^^This. I got these a while back, and they tend to come in batches. Being diligent with hydration and electrolytes has seem them (touch wood) go away.
