[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2094580, member: 501623"] ...while breastfeeding. I know both breastfeeding and eating keto can dehydrate you, and doing both together is proving to be a challenge. I wake most mornings very dry in the mouth despite drinking enough water that my urine is almost clear. I worked out that it must be an electrolyte imbalance but have not confirmed it with blood tests. I just took some hydralyte for a day or so and tested my urine on multistix and watched the specific gravity move back from the higher end, and also saw my urine ph go closer to neutral for the first time in ages after seeing it mostly on the acidic end. I was told to try potassium citrate supplements at a ratio of 4g to 1g sodium. Just can't seem to get potassium citrate at the pharmacies here, and hydralyte, while it helps, also contains glucose, which I'd rather have in a different form so I don't have to skip some carb in a meal. Today I ate salmon and drank lemon juice in water, which I think gives me potassium citrate as a food source. Just wondering what other people do to keep the electrolytes balanced on keto? [/QUOTE]
