I have IBS-M and after a long day of airplane travel yesterday, and having chronic constipation my entire vacation, I flipped to diarrhea. I have POTS so I have to be really careful with my electrolyte and fluid loss so I had some Pedialyte delivered with my groceries last night to add to my normal electrolytes. I’m on a low FODMAP diet currently and did not know that galactosaccharides in the Advantage Care Pedialyte are high FODMAP (I’m learning). I’ve been sipping on it all day and in the bathroom all day within minutes of drinking it. Posting to spare others the misery I’ve been in. As soon as I stopped drinking it, the bathroom trips became less frequent. Apparently normal Pedialyte is fine though.

Is stevia known to be a trigger? I had a protein drink today that was all plant based. I had premier protein yesterday and was so sick. I had an Owyn protein drink today and went back to see if there was caffeine in it that’s how bad I felt. There was stevia in it. I’ve been fine with everything else on the ingredients list. It didn’t last too long, thank goodness, but now I know to avoid it.
