I became dehydrated and ended up in the ER. The doctor recommended adding electrolytes to my water daily. There are many brands of electrolytes and flavors. I drink 16oz. of water with electrolytes and then all other water without. I also drink coconut water due to natural electrolytes in it. And same as others stated, I get constipated without enough fluids. It’s become routine for me now to have electrolytes daily.
