I know this isnt related to reflux, but Im hoping someone can help me. My daughter who is 3 has a stomach bug with diahrrea. She has hardly eaten the past few days and everything just goes straight through her. I bought a packet of pedialyte and she absolutely refused to drink it, she hated the taste. Does anyone know any alternatives? Is just water enough? I am crossing my fingers that Tyler doesnt get it, dont think either of us could handle that….

Amber, do you get the unflavoured pedialyte there? My daughter would sometimes take that. Also, she LOVES the pedialyte freezer pops i.e. freezies. TAste great. Otherwise, I would just give diluted fruit juices or try making them into popsicles. Hopes she feels better soon.

Yes I saw the freezer pops, I might give them a try. I dont know about unflavoured, I didnt look because I thought she would like the flavoured ones. I have 2 kids that wont drink at the moment !!

I took Katharine and Michael to the doctor with the same thing a couple of weeks ago. He said that if they wouldn’t take the pedialyte, that gatorade with do the same thing. Katharine loves the fruit punch and kiwi strawberry flavors. Michael took Apple pedialyte but only if it was cold and somewhat diluted with water.

Thanks everyone. She seems alot better today and I think the bathroom rush has stopped for the time being. I got her to drink some diluted juice, she wouldnt go anywhere near the pedialyte. The pedialyte was $15 a box so I couldnt really buy one of every flavour for her to test out . Tyler isnt showing any signs yet but dh is in bed complaining of a sore stomach .

Tyler seemed to like the Gerber LiquiLytes Better than the Pedialyte.

I always heard that Gatorade was a good substitute – and cheaper! My mom always claimed that 100% Grape Juice was good for when you had diarhea – I don’t know exactally why, but it helps.
