The basic components are potassium and glucose (readily available in fruit juices...well, your body turns the fructose into glucose), water, sodium, and chloride (found in salt). If you put it together, you get watered-down fruit juice with a little salt mixed in. Heat it up and add powdered unflavored gelatin if you really want to get healthy! I crave this when dehydrated, and it is FANTASTIC!

When I'm sick the first thing I go for is the pedialyte. It doesn't taste as good as gatorade, but then again it doesn't have the massive amounts of sugar either. Much better choice. excellent advice! When I’m sick the first thing I go for is the pedialyte.
