I've had a problem for a while now with electrolyte imbalance, some of it I'm sure is from the bouts of D attacks. But even when I'm not flaring I still have problems. Last testing I've had showed dangerously low (as they said) potassium levels and dehydration. I drink lots of water a day at least a gallon a day.
I been looking for something that isn't loaded with artificial flavors/colors/preservatives (like gatorade). Also seems if you find something natural it has Fructose in it. I found this one stuff online called Vitalyte that would be perfect if it wasn't for the fructose. Anyone have any similar problems with electrolytes, and or some recommendations.
