    Quite honestly, your best bet is probably to have a consult with a nutritionist. There are some really wise folks out there who can make sense of requirements and diet patterns and suggest great solutions for issues.

    Your insurance should cover at least one consult if it is recommended by your primary care doctor.

    I'll second the nutritionist.

    Some people actually just need more salt - you may find that what you think is a high intake is actually correct for your body, and you may need to continue to replace it while exercising. I don't have the expertise to tell you if that's what you specifically need, just speaking from experience.

    I sweat like a horse and I've had people comment on the relatively high amount of salt crust I end up covered in (face, clothes, etc....my cats love when I walk in the door like a human salt lick after a ride or run). I pop Endurolytes like candy on long, hot weather rides. I'm super prone to cramping and gave up on Marathons, as a result. I just couldn't get enough fluids or electrolytes in while running for that length of time.
