I used to live with an Ironman who worked as a personal trainer. I used to give him so much grief about his diet, as i swear he was never in an anabolic state, and he could have been so much better on the bike.
I think @hippy mentioned something about fat, protein and fibre restricting digestion and this guy was scared of consuming too much of those things in fear of upset stomach.
I found that something with a little fibre in helped my guts to deal with all the gels. I often have to ride long distance events with gaviscon tablets, as my body hates gels....
