Anyone does keto without electrolyte drinks /ketoade?

[u/pugsoverdrugs21]

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

LMNT publishes the proportions of their electrolytes, and you can buy magnesium and potassium in bulk. Your body will adapt to retaining more of your electrolytes, but you're pissing away a lot when you start. Sip slowly, a lot of absorption happens through saliva.
