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.

    Could take a supplement. Most are useless but some do serve a use in the right circumstances. I take magnesium for leg cramps for example. Could do a mix of Calcium, magnesium, potassium, with just water. Throw to the back of the throat, no taste at all. A multi vitamin might do the trick too, like one-a- day. But you will need to research them.

    One potential issue with this solution is most suppliments suggest being taken with a meal. If you are able, milk is an electrolyte source as qell, so that might serve the meal requirement.

    Good luck, I’ve had ulcers most of my life, surgery 3 times for them, they suck, a lot

        Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, these are all electrolytes and can easily be found in helth food stores. However, there is also tablets that contain these together with salt.

        They do. But they’re more expensive than just table salt.
