I tend to use a little more salt or electrolyte in my bottles if I've not been in the heat for a while but that goes back to normal amounts when I feel decent about the heat.
Not sure about the rectal temps. I don't want to go to that extent so we all can make some comparisons.... <grin>
I eat a natural foods low salt diet. I try to get about 3/4 t. salt/day. I also never have salt stains, no matter the heat. I separate my water and electrolytes, taking Endurolytes on a basis of - no thirst, take 1-2 Endurolytes. I like to be slightly thirsty., encourages me to drink. I shove the coin purse up my shorts leg. My "tell" is my forearms. Dry forearms, I'm in trouble, need water and shade now.
