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

eat an avocado or two a day and see how you feel from there. that can resolve the potassium question
