Hi! I also got dehydrated from to much lemon in my water, also if I eat to much raw Celery and cooked asparagus...acts like a diuretic for me. The lemon juice made my sodium drop pretty quickly, so I myself only take a thin slice in my water once in a while or a little lime slice. I use a salt called Hawaiian Jade Sea Salt and was able to get off fludrocortisone , I am unable to keep my sodium up with out this salt...no other slat worked for me..I only put it on my foods..eat plenty of cooked veggies with the salt on helps in a big way.
