Re: what can I drink besides water for stomach virus?

[Guest guest]

I have a sensitive stomach too, and generally just drink a lot of room-

temperature filtered water and one cup of very weak tea per day. I

make an electrolyte drink and use it regularly to help with my

neuromuscular and metabolic issues. I have modified the SCD

electrolyte drink recipe to better suit my stomach; plus I buy E-Lyte

and mix it to the strength my stomach will handle. I go through a lot

of electrolyte drink [grin].

Here's a link to the SCD electrolyte drink recipe:

http://www.scdrecipe.com/recipes-drink/electrolyte-drink/

Don't be afraid to modify it slightly. For example I don't use baking

soda or honey because my stomach objects violently. I use magnesium

and potassium instead, and cut the salt to about 1/16 tsp. I usually

drink very diluted fruit juice about 30 minutes after drinking the

electrolyte drink; and if I'm still not recovering from my low-

electrolyte symptoms I'll have a few mouthfuls of heavily-salted

cooked veggies. My stomach will accept salted food, but not salt in

water.

If you are interested in E-Lyte, here's a link. I get the green-

labeled bottle because it has less salt so my stomach handles it

better (and I dilute it more than usual)

Oh Kim, thank you so much. This is so helpful. I was actually

thinking of boiling water and honey because I didn't know what else to

do!!!
