    I get sausage fingers and a runny nose every time I'm out on a hike.

    Do you use hiking poles? For me, that solves the problem (for the sausage fingers, not the runny nose).

    I have them but I use them only on steep, slippery terrain and my nose still runs. Your nose does not? That's weird, i wonder why?

    It's called exercise induced rhinitis, and it's a thing:

    What is bloat, what exercise are you doing to make you bloat, and how does it feel? How do you know that you've got rid of it, and if it comes from exercising, won't it come back every time you exercise? What toxic pills? Help me out here!

    Bloating is the swelling of the abdomen. Every time I get done doing a cardio type exercise my stomach swells up.

    Toxic pills as in things like Garcinia Cambogia, anything that has fillers, dyes, and all crap..

    If I work out thoroughly my muscles relax a lot after a workout, and my tummy sticks out more, unless I specifically target the core muscles or do complex lifts. It's gone again without a few hours. No problem.

    None of those pills do anything anyway, so donte take them for any reason.

    I've never heard of that problem, though, so I leave it to the experts.

    Garcinia isn't toxic, just ineffective ;)

    I avoid crap fillers and dyes by buying from brands that do not use them. I stopped getting supplements at supermarkets ages ago and first shopped at Whole Foods and now iherb.com or Emerson Ecologics.

    Mainstream companies are also getting on the bandwagon - dye-free Benedryl is available, and Walgreens and other stores carry store-brand Ibuprofen that is dye-free.

    How much water/fluid do you drink per day?

    This article from Men's Fitness seems to address the abdominal bloating issue pretty well.

    Bottom line is that it's pretty normal, it's related to your body's stress response - continue to drink plenty of water, and it should mostly resolve on its own in a couple of weeks.

    How intense are your workouts?
    Some people experience bloating issues related sodium imbalance. That might be a question for your doctor.

    But since you specifically mentioned your abdomen, possible reasons for abdominal bloat:
    You could be accidentally swallowing a lot of air when you are doing strenuous exercise.
    You could be drinking too much water all at once.
    Drinking carbonated beverages. Eating too fast.
    You may have issues with digesting what you ate earlier or have some other gastrointestinal problem. Lactose intolerance? Do you release excess gas out of either end after you notice the bloating?

    Glad I'm not the only one with the runny nose problem during exercise. The worst part about it for me is any sort of extended sessions with the wife and it happens, nothing sets the mood like hearing someone trying to suck in a runny nose.
