AB  - This study aimed to explore carbohydrate (CHO) knowledge, beliefs, and intended 
      practices of endurance athletes who experience exercise-associated 
      gastrointestinal symptoms (Ex-GIS) compared to those without Ex-GIS. A validated 
      online questionnaire was completed by endurance athletes (n = 201) participating 
      in >60 min of exercise that present with Ex-GIS (n = 137) or without (n = 64). 
      Descriptive statistics were used for parametric and non-parametric data with 
      appropriate significance tests. Associations between categorical data were 
      assessed by Chi-square analysis, and post-hoc Bonferroni tests were applied when 
      significant. A content analysis of open-ended responses was grouped into themes, 
      and quantitative statistics were applied. Participants included runners (n = 114, 
      57%), triathletes (n = 43, 21%) and non-running sports (n = 44, 21%) who 
      participate in recreational competitive (n = 74, 37%), recreational 
      non-competitive (n = 64, 32%), or competitive regional, national, or 
      international levels (n = 63, 31%). Athletes correctly categorized CHO (x̄ = 
      92-95%) and non-CHO (x̄ = 88-90%) food and drink sources. On a Likert scale of 1 
      (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) athletes typically agree or strongly 
      agree that consuming CHO around key training sessions and competitions enhances 
      athletic performance [median = 4 (IQR, 4-5)], and they intend to consume more CHO 
      around exercise [median = 3 (IQR, 2-3)]. No differences in beliefs and intentions 
      were found among athletes with or without Ex-GIS. To enhance athletic 
      performance, most endurance athletes intend to consume more CHO around exercise. 
      Adequate knowledge of CHO-containing food sources was apparent; however, specific 
      CHO ingestion practices remain to be verified.
