ORS

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

Personally I like drip drop. I think it tastes really good, and has 330mg of sodium which isn't the most but is on the higher side for electrolyte drinks. Plus I can drink multiple a day or add an extra stick to my water or add a pinch or two of sea salt to it. It's really the only one with flavors

Happy New Year to you and Mr D! I've been on Mounjaro for over 2 years now. (Similar to Wegovy but not the same) I have fatty liver, and my Dad passed from MASH cirrhosis, so I take that seriously. Down 100 pounds! Almost back to a 'normal' BMI range. This stuff is seriously magic in a vial. There's

For my most recent colonoscopy, I was prescribed Golytely (polyethylene glycol 3350 and electrolytes). I took one whiff of the flavor packet and dumped it. I used my own Drip Drop electrolyte powder to flavor it, and I was able to get it down without much trouble. I did need to rinse my mouth out ev

Well you're lucky to not have the PCOS!😝🙃 YEAH I've got T12 thru S1 herniations, Stinosis, degenerative disc disease, fibromialgia and the list continues with the back, and all that jazz.

I wish they’d make some without sugar alternatives though. Some of those give me headaches so it was a pain at the start to find ones that taste

Idk if you've tried drip drop yet. I'm also autistic and I think all other electrolytes taste NASTY. Like, I think liquid IV tastes awful but so many people here love it 🤷 But lemonade drip drop tastes a lot like country time lemonade powder and the fruit punch tastes like normal fruit punch. Edit t

I’m so sorry you’re in such a dark place right now. I remember feeling exactly like that, and it’s truly terrifying. You’re not alone, and things can shift. I’m still recovering myself, but I can share what has helped me stabilize and feel more functional. The biggest change for me has been extreme

I had a gym going cousin who had issues with dehydration and lower sodium, potassium levels. He used to take different types of electrolytes before narrowing down to DripDrop hydration and has been at it regularly for sometime now. It's not too sweet or rich, if you know what I mean, just serves the

Why the lower sodium? Most rehydration recipes include more salt. The WHO's recipe includes sodium. It helps rehydrate the body. Nu salt isnt gonna do jack shit for your hydration. Take it from a chronically ill person who has to drink electrolyte drinks every day to stay properly hydrated: you need
