Shelly:  The problem is the electrolytes are separating.  I also use endura 
max and have pretty much figured out how to mix it up.  I use a blender, 
and mix it with applesauce and 2:1 electrolytes to probiotics, and just a 
small amount of water.  Mix, then put into a tupperware overnight.  The 
next day stir it up again, or else stir every few hours.  This keeps 
everything fluid and eventually all the salt dissolves.  It doesn't matter 
how liquidy you mix it, if it is allowed to sit without being re-stirred it 
will clog up the syringe.
