Lemon water

Does anyone else find they feel dry mouthed/throat? Or is this coincedence and a side effect of all the sodium we consume?

I was always thirsty with the lemon/truvia water too. I found it bizarre with how much I drank :bigsmile:

YES same!!!! I wonder if it can dry you out "down there" if it seems to be making us like this orally???!!

I never did, but if you do the robitussin will slime things back up real quick.

Oh awesome this is the last thing I need to add this cough syrup lol
Which robittusin again (chesty cough/dry cough etc)

The guaifenesin one, don't remember which one exactly. I found guaifenesin tablets, they taste super nasty but are 400 mg in one shot :happy:

I use the 'Lemsip chesty cough' I don't know if you have the same brands 5 but Lemsip is a well known brand here and it's available in our £1 shop.

We have lemsip yep they are powders for a hot drink when you are sick?

Yes thats the brand!, but you need to keep your eye out for their bottle's of cough mixture. I'd post a pic but the kids have now wiped out the camera on my phone aswell a the keys lol.

This is an old ebay link but it shows a picture of what it looks like over here, hth

It prob. is the salt! Make sure to get whatever kind of cough syrup that has the guaifenisin (sp?) as the only active ingredient!!

Thanks 8LP!

Thankyou!

I just use generic Mucinex tabs that are straight 400g guifanesin, and swallow one down about and hour before attempt. Perhaps the lemon alkalizes you so nicely that you are digesting quicker, thus more thirsty and hungry. I feel hungrier when I am drinking a lot. I am literally a Tinkle Machine so I do the green tea and lemon water in one drink. (I posted in the boy recipe section, but here it is again.) I LOVE this and so does my DH and my girls, although I don't let them have too much.

Brew 5 decaf green tea bags in a big pot of boiling water. It will be pretty concentrated. Pour into a pitcher full of ice. Add Stevia and fresh lemon, and voila.

I also think the extra protein can make you thirstier.
