>>Check out pedialyte, uncolored gatorade, or make it yourself

replacement recipes like 1 tbsp each epsom salts and table salt, 1/4

tsp potassium chloride (dark blue canister salt substitute) and 1/2

tsp baking soda in 2 qts water to drink throughout the day. Add

anything reasonable for taste and flavoring.

>>Since I have high sulfate and seem to need more calcium than magnesium,

I use:

>>2tsp calcium ascorbate

1/2 to 1 tsp table salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/8 tsp potassium salt

>>all in a mix if 3/4 quart water + 1/4 quart of juice. The juice is

necessary not just for taste, but to adjust the osmolality so that you

don't get stomach upset.

>>The calcium ascorbate can be magnesium ascorbate instead - and you can

use less, but I need a great deal of vitamin C.

Nope. You can just use sugar if you want - sucrose or fructose.

Runners use glucose. I prefer juice, for the taste (and you'll really

need it if you use epsom salts, 'cause that stuff's really nasty).

Glad it was useful.

Dave.
