It's totally natural; so we should talk about it.But yeah, replace the fluids and electrolytes (mainly salt - you will also find that all your natural "reduce salt consumption" expectations are on their head - I grind up about 1gm of salt - about 20 twists on the salt mill - very fine and take that with some apple cider vinegar and fizzy water every day.It does pass fairly quickly though -</blockquote>
