Gatorade / Pedialyte

Ok, I got some sort of viruas that has me at a 101+ temperature. The
Doc suggested pedialyte or gatorade to rehydrate. I'm worried about
the carb rush from either of them-- does anyone know of a low(er) carb
version?

Sorry you're feeling poorly, Rob. If you're looking for an electrolyte
solution, I wonder if you're anywhere near a store that carries Champion
Lyte.

Get well soon,

I am *not* a doctor nor do I play one on the Internet.

The combination of carbs (sugar) and salt in oral rehydration
therapy are there to open the receptors in the gut to absorbing more
water. However, my brother-in-law (a medical doctor) says that
Gatorade and Pedialyte are both sweeter than they need to be to
increase palatability.

If you do a Google search on "oral rehydration therapy formula" you
can find a homemade version of the WHO version which has the minimum
number of carbs needed to get the maximum amount of water into you.

Unless you have diabetes, I think the dangers of dehydration are
worse than the amounts of carb in the drinks. Particularly if you're
eating less than usual due to illness. However, I'm not a
doctor--consult your own doctor who knows you and your health.

Try Emergen-C. My whole family swears by this stuff. We don't get nearly the
colds we used to, and when we do they disapear pretty quickly.
