skip the caffeine: you said your stomach is sensitive

the idea behind caffeine is that caffeine stimulates fat metabolism and thus may be glycogen-sparing

on your first marathon, focus on enjoying and completing; any edge from caffeine in a gel is negligible (my opinion) but the effects on the tummy may be significant enought to ruin your race

Have fun and good luck with your first race!

Where/when are you racing?
