How long do you wait to run after eating?

Sometimes I go for a run after eating and waiting only an hour and I'm fine, makes me wounder if I'm overestimating how bad my cramps will be. Other times, I get caught with killer cramps if I don't wait enough.

Is this more related to the liquid than the food? What about you all?

    I run early and usually eat a homemade Kind bar right before I go. And drink a shot of espresso (which helps me, umm, eliminate before I leave...).

    Only time I ever get side stitches is if I am dehydrated. I always make sure I drink alot of water on the day before my run days.

    LOL, I totally feel you on the espresso. Nothing is worse then realizing you forgot to "take care of things".

    It probably is dehydration that gets me. It's always dehydration, isn't it? Dehydration is the worst.
