Can this be made without the honey? I know it would taste bad, probably,

but there's no way I can have 2 tablespoons of honey in six months! But I

know there are times I could use the electrolyte boost.

Ingredients

1 quart boiled water

2 tablespoons honey

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

yep i never put honey

Yes, it can be made without the honey. I often add a pinch of

sea salt, a pinch of baking soda (sometimes I leave it out) and juice of ½ lemon

to a glass of warm water. Use hot or warm water to dissolve the salt. You can

make it as strong or weak as you want by volume of water.

Actually, I'd get either the liquid minerals or the E-lyte from BodyBio

for an electrolyte boost if you can't handle the honey -- the honey

actually adds some of balances.

You can also make it with about 7 ounces of legal fruit juice.

This post comes from

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pecanbread/message/126753 :

The purpose of the honey is the glucose it provides - it's what gets the water

*into* the cells. Cells need glucose and sodium to " pull water " over the plasma

membranes. We want the drink to HYDRATE the kids - not just give them

electrolytes, which is all you are doing if you leave out the glucose.

You can substitute grape juice for the honey, but these are the only two that

will work appropriately. Grape juice and honey have the same amount of glucose

as fructose, which is the goal. Many kids start on just tablespoons of the

electrolyte drink per day as it can cause significant detox as the body begins

to hydrate. The amount of " sweetener " in this severely diluted drink is really

very minimal.

Hyperfocusing on yeast will always leave you with a yeast problem.

The fruit juice I can do. Honey just doesn't seem to work out that

well yet.

Thanks,

Thanks, . Grape juice it will be. I'm not hyperfocusing on yeast

at all, I eat quite a bit of fruit. It's just HONEY that really hits me

hard. The hypoglycemia, I think. So I limit myself to a very occasional

quarter teaspoon for a real treat.

I

use a non-sweet electrolyte drink, and have for 4 years, because it is the only

way my stomach and metabolism tolerate it. I use ELyte, or make my own

version of the SCD electrolyte drink recipe using other minerals and no honey.

I’ve

done the research into electrolytes, and non-sweet electrolyte drinks are a

good option, depending on the severity of the symptoms.

Usually

I just need the minerals, since my electrolyte-related symptoms are mild.

But there are times when my electrolytes drop so low (symptoms are

severe) that I know I need the glucose and can use the extra salt. So I

drink my non-sweet electrolyte drink first, wait 20 minutes and then have a

glass of diluted apple or orange juice (can’t touch grape), wait 5

minutes then eat a small serving of heavily-salted leftover green beans (for

the carbs and the extra salt). The carbs balance out the fruit so my

blood sugar levels don’t fluctuate to extremes. I never have fruit

by itself or I’ll have problems, even with diluted juice.

I

only use honey in small amounts in muffin/bread recipes. I can’t

even lick the spoon [grin].

I prefer it without honey. Honey makes it taste weird.

Thank you for the info. I've been leaving the honey out because it made it taste

bad. I'll try grape juice.

Thanks, Kim. Your system sounds like it would work for me.
