Re: Refeeding syndrome

I've been looking into this a bit more and have decided to change my refeeding program in future.

Electrolytes are what you need and the best way of getting them is with a proper rehydration solution.

So in future I will break my fasts with :

Rehydration sachet

Milk or coconut water

in that order, and will continue to drink 3 rehydration sachets a day for a few days to make sure the electrolytes are replaced.

Oral rehydration therapy - you can make a homemade solution

or The "Simple Solution" -  Home made Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) Recipe

On Friday I did a short  14 hour dry fast, later that night (10 hours after breaking it)  I could not get to sleep at all until I went downstairs and drank a reyhdration sachet drink (and ate a banana), when I went back to bed I felt so relaxed it was amazing and I must have fallen to sleep straight away.

So I think an electrolyte imbalance could even cause insomnia, something I might look into some more.
