If you get a stitch, try taking in some super deep breaths, this often corrects it quickly. Gael0

When I get a stitch while running, I slow my breathing down and taking deeper breaths (some of those lovely stomach expanding kind of breaths). I focus on breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth. After a short time of doing this the stitch goes away. The more you run the less you experience the dreaded stitch.0

One more tip, from a professional runner friend of mine. If all else fails, try taking an anti-gas tablet (like Gas-X) about 20 minutes before the run.0
