"My potassium level was low enough I went to the ER for heart palpitations and shortness of breath. I received IV potassium. My doctor approved me drinking DripDrop after completing 30 days of oral potassium. The first two days of drinking one powder stick were fine. The 3rd day I got terrible acid reflux with diarrhea and vomiting. I stopped it a few days but just drank half of one powder stick and got bloated and am nauseous with diarrhea."

"Side effect: the acidity of the drink causes me to lose my voice after drinking a pack a day for a few days. When I try to speak, my voice is rough. I get mucus, sometimes with blood. Seems to cause sores in my throat on parts necessary for talking. My tongue also gets sore and then hurts when I eat fruit or other acidic foods. Perhaps it is from the citric acid. I wish they’d make flavors with less acidity. I’ve tried making the Liquid IV weaker, but I still lose my voice."

For Diarrhea "Drip Drop gives me horrible heartburn. I was vomiting this morning too. Now no appetite. Every time I drink it, I get awful acid reflux."
