My advice - Eg "it works for me"
Ditch Maximus/Gatorade/Anything you can buy in a servo fridge! (Except coke....Coke in the last few hrs of any endurance event is the best)
Go to Chemist Warehouse and get their bulk pack of three tubes of Hydralyte Tablets for $25, they will be in the gastro section.
Loads of electrolytes with no sugars. Really gentle on your digestive system.
Try and eat something 1HR before a long ride that will have slow release carbs - Museli/oats are good, also bananas
For the first few hrs, try and consume 1g carbohydrate/kg of bodyweight - Cliff bars are good, as are Hammer Bars. I have also discovered Dutch StroopWafels (Coles - in the international section, $2ish for 4)
After the first few hrs, you should be able to survive on what your body is processing.
As people have said, it's good to try and work out any particular triggers.
It's not ALL Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium are also important salts.
