Advice on Runner's stitch

I've been told a few things and I'm not sure what's right but I'll share my experience.

1. Dehydration- I find I am less prone to get stitches when I am well hydrated.
2. Running too fast - I use MapMyRun and it paces me every half mile so I can make sure I'm on target and not over stressing cardiac/respiratory system
3. Breathing on even step count - I've never been able to change my breathing pattern, but someone told me if you breathe on odd step count it alleviates it.

Good luck!

Things that have somewhat helped me are stretching my arm on the side of my body with the stitch over my head, digging into the stitch with my thumb, and breathing out when the foot on the same side as the stitch hits the ground. What I've found most effective, though, is pushing my belly out really hard when I breath in and pulling it in really tight when I breath out until the stitch goes away. Works pretty much every time.

I believe I used to get that more when I didn't do a proper warm up, ie, started running too fast too quickly. If I jogged slowly for a while, it wouldn't happen.

I use to get a stitch but haven't in months. Breathing out when you place your opposite leg from the stitch side helped. Also slowing my pace down helped.
