lieze Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Have any of you tried this instead of Gatorade?I can no longer do Gatorade due to my corn allergy although I never noticed a problem while drinking Gatorade.Just my random episodes...Anyway I guess coconut water is great for electrolyte replacement.Anybody try this?

cmruls Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I take spoon of coconut oil daily. It is solid at room temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songcanary Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Lieze,Thank you for bringing this up. I have been looking for a good potassium source other than bananas. I had no idea! So I will try this as well. BTW, there is an electrolyte drink called Recharge that I get from the health food store. It does not contain corn and I tolerate it. Have you seen that one?

lieze Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 no I have not...I am looking for things myself to eat ...and drink and came across this.I'm going to try the naked brand coconut water.Any other corn free ideas songcanary send them my way...I am looking for a vitamin C...I had a huge reaction the last time I drank orange juice...so I'm scared off of oranges and citrus anything...reacted to lemon juice that was in a juice in the form of a preservative and don't seem to tolerate juice concentrates at all.

roxie Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I have, it almost taste like sugar water with a slight metallic taste. It's mostly very sweet.I thought it was better when I mixed with other juices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizababy Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I love coconut water.I haven't had any lately but I do know that during WWII it was used for dehydrated, wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Based on this, I would imagine it to be an excellent substitute for gatorade.Personally, I have been substituting Trader Joe's Electrolyte Enhanced Water for my gatorade. Basically, TJ's brand of smartWater. Probably not as good as C-Water but definitely yummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songcanary Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Just tried it last week. Love it. And the potassium is impressive. I hope it helps me, my potassium has always been on the low side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroline Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I drink a large bottle of coconut water daily. Great for hydrating, and a fine source of potassium. Besides, it tastes good. It tends to be a little pricey, so I watch for sales and buy it by the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliegee Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Trader Joe's has a great version-plain is fab and all natural. But, they also have mango flavored- very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockiesGirl Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I LOVE Coconut Water!! I started to gain weight with all of the Gatorade I was drinking and I did not want sugar substitutes so I happened onto this. It is really hydrating, full of nutrition and it tastes pleasant. Sometimes I mix it with other juices as well. No wonder it can be used for Blood Plasma in an emergency....LOTS of good vitamins etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
