A member asked:
Is it safe to give 3 yr old gatorade when they have diarrhea when they don't like pedialyte?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Gatorade is an ok substitute. It is a bit high in sugar, so you might want to mix some water in or mix the regular gatorade with the low calorie type in equal parts. That way you get the electrolytes and not such a high sugar content.
