Martha,
My two cents worth... I have used GU and PowerGel extensively. GU made my stomach upset and PowerGel was so-so. My last 3 marathons I have used Carbboom, as well as on long runs, and love the stuff. Three friends of mine have had the same success.
Good Luck.
I use it as well. Used it in my feeble NYC marathon attempt and I find it less pasty and thick than the other gels. I think you can even tolerate it without water or gatorade if out on a long run with no water stops.
I prefer the apple cinnamin flavor, but strawberry-kiwi is alo palatable.

A friend hates most gels but likes the orange-colored Car-BOOM.
Try a PowerBar instead.
