Feeling ill an hour after a workout, after eating dinner

I've been having problems the past week or so where I feel nauseous about 20 minutes after I've eaten dinner following a workout. I typically eat an apple an hour before I run (about 3 miles) or have eaten recently, shower, and then eat dinner. After I eat dinner I begin to have an uneasy stomach. I never feel sick during my workout and am not new to running or weight training. Has anyone had this issue before?

    It may seem bizarre....but what are you eating the night before your workouts?

    I've noticed that after eating a light dinner (especially one low in carbohydrates), workouts the next day leave my stomach uneasy for the rest of the night...

    Just a thought...

    Also....are you noticing it's isolated to either a cardio or weights routine? Both require different nutrients (i.e. endurance vs. muscle toning/strengthening)....

    Other possibilities....are you drinking enough water in preparation for the workout? That's another source of possible stomach pain...

    If you're really thirsty after a workout, that's a good sign that you're dehydrated and need to prepare your body better for the act...

    I do a lot of running and periodically feel sick ( it's not unusual ) . It could be hormonal or that I have pushed myself too much. I think it's just that when you are running you are jumping up and down so much that it makes you feel ill. On long runs I often feel a bit ill and I either have a sports drink or the feeling passes. Bananas and a glass of milk are good for recovery. Don' t worry about it, keep running and as our bodies get trained to do these runs I' m sure it will get better.

    Good luck x
