Electrolyte solution for gut?

[Guest guest]

Will the electrolyte solution help with other gut probems besides

consitpation, i.e. diarrhea? Does it promote healthy gut overall?

Well, I don't know this for sure. But doesn't diarrhea lend itself to

dehydration which lends itself to depleted electrolytes (my daughter

does urinate a lot, so I think she was slightly dehydrated)? If this

is correct, my guess is that it might help.

The ingredients are water, honey, salt, and baking soda. So if you

are able to give your child those ingredients, I don't think it would

hurt them. So maybe you could just test it?

I really don't know whether it helps with overall gut stuff. There

are many who are concerned with giving their kids any honey due to the

possibility of it feeding yeast. But I think this listserve's

position is that honey does not feed yeast (it has something to do

with biofilm, but I don't completely understand it). Also, the honey

is really diluted in the solution . . . so if you are OK with it,

maybe a trial is a good idea.

I will say that I also add one freshly squeezed, organic lemon to the

mixture after it cools because fresh lemon juice aids digestion and

also helps to alkalize the body's ph level (my kids ph level tends to

be acidic due to their heavy metal toxicity). I suppose this may have

also helped my constipated child, and I probably should have mentioned

it before.
