Guys, just so you're aware, if it's after purging, even if the reason is low blood sugar (which I don't think is the case here as I mentioned above), using plain lucozade isn't really the best idea due to the caffeine in there amongst other things. Purging alters the electrolyte valance within your body and this needs to be corrected. the body has quite tight levels to which these should be and does try, by various methods, to correct it itself, but the best thing that can be drunk to help this isn't sugary drinks such as normal lucozade but is sport/ isotonic drinks such as lucozade SPORT/ Gatorade/ powerade. Yes, if it is purely low blood sugar then lucozade, or any other sugary drink such as cola, will work but with this being after purging, as mentioned in Helen's post, the situation is different.
