A member asked:

I am allergic to most sport drinks, and it takes a lot of water for me to feel fully hydrated. what is the best way for me to rehydrate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Determine allergy: Water and electrolytes are critical to rehydration, particularly during strenuous activity, and in hot weather. Sports drinks are fine. They contain a variety of different ingredients. Determination of exactly what the allergy is would be helpful in being able to avoid the allergen. An allergist might be able to help.
