ORS

Anecdotal, for sure, but I have ran, crewed and volunteered in some of the hottest, humid conditions on the planet and the idea that we don't need electrolyte supplementation seems a bit absurd to me. I think people overdo it, of course, and people think it's a cure all for insufficient fueling, hea

I’m going through it right now and mine is definitely triggered by anxiety or stress. In fact I’m wearing a holter monitor right now.

1000% start miralax and electrolytes if you haven't already! That made the biggest difference with my discomfort and fatigue hands down. Aim for electrolytes that are higher in potassium rather than just sodium - DripDrop was great. Smaller meals more frequently were also way better than a few large
