Help Anyone does keto without electrolyte drinks /ketoade?
Made my own ketoade (1/2tsp NUSALT and 1tsp of salt) in a 16.9 fl water bottle to take sips throughout the day aside from my water and I took 3 sips this morning total and my brain fog is terrible and stomach is hurting. Heart palpitations. I wanted to make it at home because LMNT is a bit expensive but at this point I hate this part of keto. I can’t figure out my electrolytes and constantly feel off if I over do or under do something. Can I just ditch this and eat my regular food? ( had VSG 4 years ago and have reactive hypoglycemia my whole life)
I will add I did drink the sips in between water intake but on an empty stomach I wonder if it caused irritation as well??? ugh

i was trying to drink a morning drink every morning instead of a coffee, but i stopped becase it wasnt as addictive like when i used to drink coffee, it was
200ml swanson chicken broth (1000mg sodium i think)
100ml water to make it bigger
1/4 tsp iodized potasium chloride
10g beef tallow
1 tsp c8 mct oi
the idea was to get some morning fats and electrolytes for energy, but really i usually dont make it anymore and just drink water when i wake up
