Re: SCD electrolyte drink -- was Avoiding supplements and what to do when going back into flair?

March 15, 2010

Thanks, Kim. I'll look into the drink. For today I've just been drinking tons of

water, adding salt to my chicken soup/chicken liver mix, and I happened to look

up the potassium levels of acocados - turns out they are higher than bananas.

The remaining ingredient is magnesium. Any tips on foods rich in magnesium?

Also a sidenote about magnesium. People were telling me to stop taking my

Calcium/Magnesium suppliment when I had D because magnesium is supposed to cause

D. But it sounds like it is also really necessary (along with Calcium - my

levels were on the low end). Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Kat
