He is 3 months old. I have him on a holistic Blue Buffalo right now but it gives him soft poop and diahrea so i think it is too rich for him.

I know this one is less good than BB but BB is TOO rich for him so i have to take it down a notch.

Yes it is the food, hes been to vet no parasite.

I know you all are going to say corn meal is bad and isnt digestable but think about it. We eat things that are non digestable. WE need ruffage in our diets so why dont dogs need any ruffage? Pluss chicken is the first ingredient…
I also give him fresh raw veddies like carrots to chew on so he gets more veggies.

What would one consume to replenish electrolytes for the human body besides sports drinks?

I’ve read that sodium and potassium are examples of electrolytes. Recalling my high-school and college chemistry I can see why sodium would be an electrolyte since it helps conduct an electric current, but I never heard that about potassium. So besides eating bananas and salty foods I was wondering what other “natural” sources of food and/or liquid provides the body with what would be considered electrolytes. (Yes, I’m prepping for a long distance event, incase you were wondering. ;-)
PLEASE NOTE, I’m looking for “natural” (vs. man-made) foods and/or liquids.
