Keep getting dehydrated

The past few weeks I’ve been getting really dehydrated does anyone know if there is any scd legal type of drink to keep me hydrated since powerade and gatorade isn’t legal?

I used to use the Kedem legal juice with a pinch of baking soda and salt. I believe you can heat honey and do that too. Nowadays I just out sea salt in my water, or take Magnesium, Potassium and Sea salt or Matrix electrolytes is legal too I believe ;)

This is not a drink, but my daughter's doctor said in addition to drinking a lot of water she should eat salty foods to help her body retain the water. So that's not as simple to find in SCD but she eats legal pickles and jarred olives. Also, bananas are high in potassium which is a great electrolyte. This is a real issue for my daughter since she's gotten dehydrated several times this summer already (first summer with ileostomy).

Yeah, it's tough. I always keep Kedem Grape juice in the fridge and grapes in the freezer (which have natural sugar) and that is what I eat/drink to stay hydrated!! and they are refreshing. also, I take bananas with me for after blood tests when I need energy. \n\nyou also can make ice cream out of blending Banana's and Pears. its also reall good.\n\nGood Luck
