Gaeleen says, "Good thing we've been ill, or I wouldn't have thought to submit this recipe! One thing I have figured out is that eight children and two bathrooms is not a good equation when gastroenteritis strikes the home..."
This recipe is from Gaeleen's family doctor.
Ingredients:
1 liter of water
8 oz. orange juice (must be orange for potassium)
2 Tbsp. corn syrup
1/2 tsp. salt
Shake well and use liberally to prevent dehydration.
What a handy recipe! Not only are Pedialyte and its generic forms really expensive, but they also contain high fructose corn syrup and artificial colors and flavors. This is a wonderful alternative that is additive-free and inexpensive.
And Gaeleen, we hope your bunch gets to feeling better really soon!

You can make a better tasting electrolyte drink by adding more fruit juice and deleting the refined sugar from the recipe. My electrolyte sports drink recipe shows how to dilute any fruit juice to make a great natural, additive-free rehydration drink.
