The electrolyte composition of bile includes 145mEq/L sodium, 5mEq/L potassium, 110mEq/L of chloride and 40mEq/L bicarbonate. The body secretes roughly 1-1.5L of bile per day. In order to replace bile losses, lactated ringers is the appropriate intravenous fluid to administer.

The electrolyte composition of gastric fluid is basically protons (H+) and Chloride anions (Cl-), resulting from the complete dissociation of Hydrochloric acid. There may be some other ions present as well, such as sodium, potassium and even calcium, but in smaller amounts.
