Question: I feel awful! How can I hydrate quickly with the stomach flu.?
Groooooan.
I feel terrible. I have the stupid stomach flu that's going around. I've been in the bathroom all day, so I've been drinking a lot, knowing I had to stay hydrated. Still, just now I woke up and while running to the bathroom, I almost passed out. After, I crawled to my kitchen and grabbed some juice, and I'm sipping on that. I don't have any sports drinks, just water, juice, and soda.
This is like the worst feeling ever, feeling on the brink of passing out, and my limbs are a little tingly numb. also, I've been on a low carb diet, so I know my blood sugar is low (I already have messed up blood sugar, I may be borderline diabetic). I don't want to shock my system with sugar by drinking this juice, but it seems to be working better than water.
I'm kind of scared, but I don't think I'm bad enough for the hospital, nor do I want to get that way. What should I do.?Health Question & Answer

If you don't have gatorade, you can make your own! Take one third teaspoon of salt and one third teaspoon of baking soda and what ever you can put in it, like koolaid or juice. That is what gives you the electrolytes in gatorade and pedialite drinks. good luck and hope you feel better.Health Question & Answer
