How to Balance Low Sodium and Electrolyte Replacement During Exercise?
There are two nutrition segments who do not communicate much: low sodium diets and electrolyte replacement. I have seen a number of articles about "low sodium backpacking" and "low sodium backpacking meals." There are also many, many articles (likely driven by a lucrative market) on electrolyte replacement

0% potassium ketchup
Hi, been away for a while, but have a quick question. Our Kroger grocery store sells a Kroger brand ketchup that has 50% less sodium and zero potassium. Can I trust this label? How can ketchup (made from tomatoes) be zero potassium?

Some questions answered, some answers questioned, and Chemotherapy scheduled.
I exchanged emails with the MO over the weekend regarding the combination trials of Docetaxel and Radium 223. Below is a portion of the exchange. Part 1 explains why there was no treatment for 90 days. Part 2 the Medical Oncologist paragraph talks about his familiarity with the Docetaxel/Radium 223

Hints and tips to get 7 year old to take sodium picosulfate (stimulant).
We’re just starting disimpaction process and have a very fussy child. I’m pretty sure he’ll hate the picosulfate and just wondered how people were administering this. What can I use that’s not juice to disguise the taste?

Thursday 9/9/2021 was D for Decision Day--Locked and Loaded for Chemotherapy
I met with the oncologist and ran through my agenda efficiently. He was patient and spent a reasonable amount of time answering questions. As time went on, he suggested that the top 2 options, for the moment, were chemotherapy and radium 223. The oncologist said there isn’t a rush to begin, with no evidence

Blood tests = Can of Worms. Anaemia or Hyperthyroidism? B12 & Serum Folate too low or OK? Other results all over the place! Any ideas?
Hi All, I have no idea what any of this means, but even I know some of it looks skewiffy! A couple of the results were flagged by the test itself; these are RDW and MCHC which may relate to thyroid function. Also the Serum Folate and B12 look a bit low so may be affecting my thyroid too. Are you able

Preparation for Treatment Decisions 90 Days after Immunotherapy Stopped.
When I ran a business, I always prepared an agenda. I find that taking the time to write things down and review them sets the agenda and keeps meetings moving in a positive direction while avoiding the possibility that something important gets lost. The week before last, I exercised moderately a few

Update
Sorry all for not posting in a while. I am a high school counselor and we have been on summer break. I have been doing some mini renovations around my house, traveling and honestly getting caught up on sleep and family time from the craziness of the last year and a half. I went to my GP last week

I'm new here & have benefited from your posts
Hello everyone. I've "lurked" on here since my husband was diagnosed with severe liver disease in March 2021. He gave up alcohol the day he was admitted to hospital and I'm so proud of him for sticking with it determinedly. We're 4 months on and he's been through several ascitic drains, feeling terrible

Low stomach acid tests
I asked some questions about B12 and Diarrhoea here: https://healthunlocked.com/pasoc/posts/145437733/vit-b12-and-diarrhoea Some people came back suggesting that low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria or achlorhydria) is a cause of stomach acid. I did the sodium bicarbonate "burp" test and it seems I might
