    🤷‍♂️

    Maybe? Maybe not. It’s expensive to test for, and cheaper to treat the symptoms. And I can monitor my vitals myself.

      Obviously I don’t know anything about you but I have cystic fibrosis so I lose a TON of salt and do need a high salt diet, some people who carry the cystic fibrosis gene express it fairly strongly and need more salt… could be something unusual like that I guess

          This conversation got me super excited to try it, only to see that it costs 3x as much as Powerade Zero packets. Since we easily chew through a 10pack of packets a week, I can’t bring myself to have her try it.

            I understand. It is costly. I use it because of its potency and other ingredients. But I am open to suggestions for better products.

              We tried the cheapest stuff Amazon will sell and went back to Powerade Zero.

              The next step is trying to build your own electrolyte drink, but that is a recipe for disaster.

              Puns aside, I was concerned about giving myself an electrolyte imbalance. I asked the doctor about it and they told me to just eat food, weirdo (sass for dramatic emphasis, but I definitely got the look I give end users when they ask stupid questions).
