how to find something other than water that works with the following

I don't like making excuses and I'm sure this will come across that way but this is what I'm up against:
--hypoglycemia
--wheat sensitivity bordering on allergy
--on blood thinners for A-fib in heart
--work 12-hour rotating shifts
--had recent knee surgery, which was causing problems since last July
--gained 40 lbs. from being sedentary, due to health problems

Hey there,
I'm not positive if this will work but there is a powder ocean spray juice mix that has no added sugar or anything in it. I think it's like cranberry lemonade or something, my entire neighborhood loves it. It comes in a canister that is maybe six inches tall (please forgive if the measurment is off, it's about 15 till 5am) and has I think four or five small packages inside that make a full jug of juice.

Hope it can help some, keep me posted =]

I would definetely try adding salba to your diet, or eat the nutrition bars. I am not sure of the specifics on being hypoglycemic ( I am a celiac),so you should research a little bit. Salba is a superfood grain that is low-glycemic and gluten free. It is packed with nutrients such as Omega 3's, fiber, antioxidants and calcium. I am a big advocate for this product and passionate about it, as it has had a positive effect on my health. I am so sorry that you have had to struggle with these health issues. I think that you may find this product will help you.Take care.
