Where is the post about supplementation of electrolytes during fast?

This is probably annoying, im sorry! Can anyone direct me to the page on here with information about how to take electrolytes correctly on an empty stomach? I saw that if you put salts in a capsule and it dissolves, it can burn a hole in your stomach lining, but I forget the proper way to do it. I know I read it on here somewhere but can't find it now. Thanks in advance!

Answer

How long are you fasting, friend?

If you’re doing something like 8:16 you don’t need to even think about electrolytes really. Beyond a day, you may want them. Some OMAD beginners feel funky and salt can help. Personally, I dump a take-out salt packet on my hand and shoot it followed by water to wash it down. You can mix an electrolyte drink with the magnesium etc or buy one if you’re doing longer fasts.

Answer

I’m not a doctor but I don’t see how salt can dissolve your stomach lining as you have literal acid in your stomach. The stomach lining is tough. Just drink some zero Gatorade or buy some electrolyte mix packets.
