Which electrolyte drink do you think tastes the best? (self.asklemmy)

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.

No, sorry, cannabis doesn't help. But thanks.

That's a shame. I have had something similar and it's turned into a life long merry go round of symptoms, sometimes winding back to where you are now. No doctor has been able to diagnose it and I have had every test available. I really wouldn't recommend it, it has serious malabsortpion problems and I truly believe it all started by not eating for almost 3 weeks straight because I was too nauseous to keep anything down.

Would you be able to swallow a pill and keep it down for more than 30 minutes?

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, I can take my pills.

Another question, are you also experiencing constipation, or were you before the symptoms got really bad?

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 1 year ago

I am now, but that's from not eating. I wasn't before though.
