ORS

Anecdotal, for sure, but I have ran, crewed and volunteered in some of the hottest, humid conditions on the planet and the idea that we don't need electrolyte supplementation seems a bit absurd to me. I think people overdo it, of course, and people think it's a cure all for insufficient fueling, hea

A huge part of hydration is consistent intake as well as electrolyte balance. If you weren't consistently drinking plenty of water the two days previous, you're not going to be as well hydrated as you might expect when drinking a gallon today. You also need to have electrolytes to help the water go

Have her try drinking a specific type of electrolyte drink called an oral rehydration solution (ORS), which is significantly superior to generic “sports drink” electrolyte drinks. They come as powders that have to be mixed with a specific volume of water. DripDrop is my favorite brand, but Liquid IV

i can’t speak for you of course, but after i got my ileostomy, my appetite and even the way i feel hunger changed. it could just be a “normal” thing for your body to do after having half its digestive system cut off. i would worry if you start experiencing any other symptoms such as uncontrollable n

OP, I don't know how old you are, or how old your father is, but I do love how much you worry about him and his well-being. I'm just like you. If he does not drink enough water buy some "DripDrop" from the local pharmacy. It's a hydrating powder just like Gatorade and stuff, he can mix it in with wh

Liquid IV, drip drop, and walgreens brand are good. There's probably more, but those are real electrolytes in a good amount. Basically you need chloride, sodium, potassium and magnesium. Gatorade only has sodium and sugar (or sodium and artificial sweetener for zero!). Im good with getting the low s
