Sugar should be fine unless you are one of the few who is intolerant to fructose or some other component of sugar. Some people with yeast (Candida) overgrowth also avoid sugar because it feeds the yeast overgrowth. In general, following a low-sugar diet is advisable in MC becuase sugar can aggravate D, but there is no need to avoid it altogether. Green tea, even with caffeine, is OK, and the polyphenols in it are very good for you. However, everyone here varies in their reaction to tea or other items with caffeine. If it cuases instant stomach gurgles and sends you to the bathroom, maybe lay off it for a while and try again later.
