Hi Gloris,
Your ride sounds amazing! Perpetuem can be a good product as long as it works for you. When riding, you should shoot for about 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour. If your GI tract doesn’t like that much, start scaling back to find what it will tolerate. Some protein (just a few grams) can help. You don’t really need fat when working out.
I’m not sure what you were using before, but adding in a drink like that will have the effects you mention. At this point, I wouldn’t add any other foods to it if it is working.
Hope that helps!
Penny
