Just catch the flu! My new year’s gift was the flu. Vomiting and diahrea for 24 hours straight. That put me into a flare. I’ve been on 3 days only fluids.
I took this “opportunity” to try Electrolyte gastro rehydrating crystals. It's supposed to be "an easy-to-use rehydration drink that quickly restores vital minerals and body water lost through vomiting."
It kinda tasted like the 4 litres of golyte you are forced to drink when prepping for a scope. So I didn’t manage to drink much, but hope it helped.
Each sachet of Electrolyte gastro contains:
Sodium Chloride..............................0.47 g
Sodium Acid Citrate.........................0.53 g
Potassium Chloride.........................0.30 g
Glucose (from corn syrup)...............3.56 g
Other than that I stuck to ice water and weak chamomile mint tea with honey. It’s comforting to the tummy and contains no caffeine.
And Boost. When it’s really chilled, I can stomach it.
I’m slowly getting better and the turkey pounds have vanished. How's that for seeing the silver lining?
Next time I will be talking about my newest journey: green energy (juicing). Stay tuned and keep coming back!
