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.
I will look into the powder. That sounds like a good option. Thanks!
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.
Much appreciated.
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.
I get it mild and prevent the worst parts by not smoking after 9pm the night before.
I mean… I have an ulcer. They detected it. I don’t think I need to find other reasons.
Ulcers usually wouldn’t cause morning nausea on their own. There is a different set of symptoms like pain with or without food consumption, seeing black specks in vomit that look like coffee grounds, and so on.
Also, you may have two problems. You can have both going at the same time and shouldn’t stop at the first possible explanation for your discomfort.
I’m sorry, but I’m not particularly interested in medical device from people on the internet I don’t know.
That’s very wise. Just keep it in mind especially if you use pot.
