How do you all deal with dehydration? I have Sjogrens syndrome, and dehydration happens to me a LOT! If I drink too much water, my potassium gets flushed out, and if I try Gatorade, there's too much sugar! I haven't tried electrolyte tablets because they're too expensive :neutral:

    Have you tried pedialyte? If you have no kidney issues, it might be helpful for you

    Good point. Drinking more water is not always the answer. Before I resolved my 40 years of IBS/leaky gut syndrome absorption rate was very poor. After I got my magnesium and sulfur levels up it helped with the joint pain. Gatorade made things worse for me as well for the same reason. I do start the day with almonds.

    A lot of people buy the Morton's lite salt which is a mix of salt and potassium chloride and put it in water with a little lemon juice for homemade Gatorade without the sugar.
