So now i need to replenish my electrolytes cant drink powerade or gatorade as the stuff in it like fructose and whatever else they put in it mess me up so need so suggestions on drinks with plenty of electrolytes in them my mouth is really dry and feel degydrated.

In the states we have stuff called Pedialyte... it's for kids when they get dehydrated, not sure what all the ingredients are, but like scottsma said, you could ask the pharmacist. I'm sure there is something you can get over the counter with electrolytes that doesn't contain all those nasty artificial sweeteners! In the meantime just drink as much water as possible! And for the drymouth, they have special mouthwash over the counter for that as well! Many crohn's meds cause severe dry mouth which can lead to tooth decay... I've had to have many teeth removed and operated on because of chronic dry mouth and malnutrition, so don't let that go overlooked!

Hope you can get to feeling better!

Coconut water is chock full of electrolytes, more than Gatorade. I drink it all the time to replenish.
