I carry a portable pharmacy when I run. This consists of a small plastic film canister filled with a few important pills. I generally use an APS film canister, but 35mm will work well. You can get these from most places that process film. I put a little packing foam in the bottom, and then use another 'plug' of packing foam at the top. This foam prevents the pills rattling and breaking apart. In the film pot I have:
* [[Electrolyte capsuleCapsules]]. I don't use these very often, but they are useful if there are no other electrolytes available.
* Antacid tablets. Some foods can acidify the stomach, especially coke.
* Gas-x. Any gas can cause real pain when running, and it's hard to predict what will cause it.
