I am REALLY sick, still not sure why, but can only keep down fluids. I don't dare try anything besides chicken broth, water and peppermint tea. Are there ANY things out there that are IC friendly with electrolites? Gatorade and everything else I have found all have citric acid, I looked at all the flavor options. Also, same problem with jello.
Any ideas?
:help:
Thanks!

I can get away with gatorade as long as I avoid the red tones, which seem to be more acidic. Have you been in touch with your doctor? They may be able to give you some suggestions.

Warm hugs,
Donna

Thanks Donna. I haven't called my Uro, too many complications from my breast surgery have been occupying my time today!! I will if I feel dehydrated or don't get better over the next day or so.

TraceAnn,
I forgot about plain pedialyte! My kids only liked the flavored kinds. Thanks for the reminder!

Thanks Ronda! It's a long story: basically my insicion opened and my Doctor is out of town and the one he sent me to isn't doing anything. Plus I am vomiting, having chills and sweats and achy all over. Not a good day.....
Hopefully will feel better tomorrow.

Oh Ronda, That's awful!! I am so sorry! I have issues with antibiotics too, I get sick to my stomach on most of them. Just keep an eye on that foot....Can you walk on it yet?
Feel better soon!
