Can someone take a look at this food label?
I'm luckily still in a sort of remission and working on new fitness goals.
I say "sort of remission" because I still get set off by the wrong foods and then will have symptoms for a few days while I recover. So not perfect, but better than I every thought I would be.
The plan is to run the Pike's Peak Ascent in August and I'm looking for a safe fueling source. I don't want to rely on their aid stations and plan on bringing my own food. So far I have been sticking to half marathon distance or less so I have been getting away with just sipping water. I have tried Jelly Belly Sport Beans on a few of my longer runs and they seem to sit ok. I'm just worried that they will become a problem if I have them too often.
Any red flags?

For whatever reason it looks like my original post is blank.
I was asking about fueling for endurance sports for someone who is "mostly" in remission.
So far I have been using Jelly Belly Sport Beans

I'm wondering if there are any red flags in the ingredients list. Other than the obvious sugar = bad thing.

Some MC'ers react to tapioca, natural flavor (depending on what it is), ascorbic acid, citric acid (usually a problem only for larger quantities), or sodium lactate. Some are OK with them. But that's why most of us avoid processed products with a long ingredient list — they can upset our digestive systems. Sometimes those ingredients are only a problem under certain conditions. Sometimes it just depends on what else is happening.

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.
That sounds like something that would be practical. I'm not sure how many grams of glycogen replenishment you would get from a banana, though, but maybe there are tables that list it.

sweet potato or banana is a good option
if you make your own drink then you could use small amount of sugar or pure glycogen to get sugar you need without it being too much and without the other risky ingredients
