Re: Re: electrolyte drink

[Guest guest]

Sheila,

Thanks for the quick response. J's been on a restricted diet - very close to

SCD - for ten years plus. When the dr recommended this we started with the

intro and reintroduced most foods fairly quickly. He hasn't had any bm troubles

in years, can eat cooked and/or raw of almost anything legal he likes. We're

extremely fortunate that his food preferences have grown enormously over the

decades. He loves most fruits (esp bananas - one/day) and vegetables. The

chronic problems are yeasts and leaky gut. Since SCD there's been no symptoms

of yeast and he's absorbing food and meds much better. Unfortunately, because

his med load is pretty high he drinks a lot of water (>9 cups) and I think

that's washing the electrolytes out of his system. Between supplements (calc,

mag, bicarb), food (potas, phos) and epsom salt baths, his intake is in fact

pretty high. Beyond adding table salt (dr recommends) I'm not sure what else to

do.
