Does anyone else have issues with maintaining energy levels for exercising? I play tennis and took a break while MC conditions were particularly bad over the winter. I just tried playing again and found my energy level to be very low. I know I was struggling with getting used to the new Stage 1 diet, so perhaps this will go away over time but just wanted to check if other people have issues with maintaining energy levels.
Also, has anyone found a MC tolerant electrolyte recipe or drink they can recommend?
Thanks,
Erika
Homemade Electrolyte Recipe
Hi Erika,
Low energy/fatigue is one of the primary symptoms of MC. It's also one of the most persistent symptoms. It usually lasts a year or more past remission from diarrhea. This post contains a recipe for a safe homemade rehydration drink.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
This is a link to a post that has the electrolyte drink. I don't add sugar to mine because I am diabetic.

Thank you! I had found this recipe when I first was went to the site but could not it since. I am not sure I have fully figured out the best way to search for topics in the archives.

I looked at nuun's website above. TI used the active tabs for working out and when I was trying to stay hydrated when experiencing a lot of D but I stopped using it with the Stage 1 diet. But I see that it is listed as soy, dairy, and gluten free!
It does contain dextrose, citric acid, and stevia.
According to the website other ingredients include:
"plant based sweetener monk fruit and a touch of stevia leaf extract to provide a crisp and light sweetness
non-gmo sourced dextrose to increase the speed of absorption and hydrate you faster
avocado oil for clean, plant-based production"
Any questionable ingredients for MC? Is Stevia a concern as an artificial sweetener?
