I’m not eating and I need to keep my electrolytes up. I’ve been trying different drinks and there pretty much all awful. The best I’ve had so far is pineapple coconut water. The worst is Powerade Zero fruit punch.
It seems like whatever stuff they put in there in these drinks is the problem because many of them have this horrible bitter taste they try to hide with flavoring.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
And yes, I know Brawndo has electrolytes. Very droll.
Someone recommended that to me before. I’m not a huge fan of popsicles, but I may have to resort to those. Thanks.
Get the drinks then. They also have powder to mix with water. Fruit punch, berry blast, and orange are my and my kids favorites.
All their products are usually in the baby section at grocery stores.
Oh and you’re welcome. I give it to my kids instead of juice and they don’t know the difference.
You can make your own. Rehydration solutions are sugar, sodium, and potassium. You can use regular table salt for the sodium and “cream of tartar” in the spice section (it’s a powder) is a source of potassium.
If you are interested, look up how much to use and then go wild. The premade bottles like Gatorade are exactly the same ingredients. They might have a bit of citric acid to make it tangy so the salty is covered and it gets rid of dry mouth.
I think those flavors are the problem. Although the coconut water doesn’t have them. So I’m not sure.
That’s what I’m saying: make your own without those things and you know exactly what’s in it.
Also, just curious if you use pot regularly. Long term daily use >10 years is associated with morning nausea and cramping and dry heaving, mouth watering and hot flashes. Hot baths or showers tend to stop the immediate symptoms. It’s called hyperemesis syndrome and goes away when people stop smoking/consuming.
- there is current debate about whether this is a withdrawal symptom or a toxicity syndrome and it’s being studied.
I get it mild and prevent the worst parts by not smoking after 9pm the night before.
