Eating On The Run - Need Carb Advice

We did our 16-mile training run on Saturday. Holy wind. I was cursing mother nature, especially around 14.5 miles when the backs of my legs started screaming at me. I drank a lot of water & Ultima Replenisher , but it wasn't nearly enough. I checked the label when I got home, "Cripes! There are only 3 g carbs per serving!" So, I'm looking for some advice on what to eat during the rest of my very long, long runs and during Grandma's Marathon . I'd like something, preferably not in GU form (it's a texture thing), that won't upset the stomach. Someone at Yoga suggested Clif Shot Blocks , which I'm open to. Gummy, fruity - what could be better? But I'm confused on which one to try - caffeinated or decaf. Who knew there were so many options? GUs, performance drinks, chewy things, jelly beans - I'm officially overwhelmed.
