is there pedialyte that actually tastes good?

[bittybomb]

My kids beg for the pedialyte ice pops even when they're not sick.

I hope she feels better soon!

[eddy]

do you think she would like gatorade? That is what we use when the boys are sick.

poor pumpkin

My kid seems to hate the juice but loves the freezies

[themysteriouswife]

No. The taste makes me gag. We use Powerade or Gatorade.

[cuddlyevil]

There are some naturally flavored ones that are all right. The apple and fruit punch ones are the best.

The freezer pops are probably the best though.

[jeaniebueller]

Is the unflavored one bad? Maybe you could mix some of that with some juice? Bummer about it being cold, my DS loved the ice pops.

[scottyderp]

Pedialyte in applesauce? I think the whitish Gatorade is mild and good. It's a cherry-like flavor.

[whitemerlot]

My kids prefer Gatorade.

[katiescarlett]

Gatorade and ice pops. If she refuses or pukes it up I'd call the dr about iv rehydration. Poor baby.

[Deleted]

My kids like the orange one. I can't remember what flavor that is. It's all chalky though.

[auntie]

Flavored coconut water?

Sugar in Gatorade or soda can exacerbate diarrhea.

[lovelyshoes]

Gatorade is better. Would she drink ginger ale? I've done that even for myself when I can't stomach anything else.
I hope she feels better soon.

[FastHands]

I usually have more luck with applesauce than pedialyte. I think your DD is old enough for gatorade anyway, though.

[textbookcase]

They are all terrible. I used to try to get just a tiny bit in at a time w a medicine dropper and they would still spit it out most of the time. Pedialyte popsicles sometimes worked, but those are gross, too. I finally stopped trying and started using Gatorade.

[NandaB]

My kids like the orange watered down a bit and super cold. With a straw. Gatorade isn't recommended for babies and toddlers, but if she's older and its all shell drink I'd just water it down a little

[egeiger]

The new flavors taste pretty good (I work for them - disclosure). The strawberry lemonade powder pack is my favorite, as are the Advanced Care flavors, cherry punch and blue raspberry.

[kaybee85]

Do you think she'd take broth?

[tealblue]

DS usually drinks the clear one with a few splashes of crangrape juice. I've never tasted the clear to see if it is indeed unflavored.

[dottyblue]

Another Gatorade user here. Yellow, or clear, light colors. No red or purple in case it comes back up. Pedialyte is nasty stuff.

[cleo29]

I would try Gatorade, ice pops and maybe even smart water and you can add some flavoring to it.

Hope she feels better soon, poor thing.

If you have lansinoh, try putting that on her lips.

[papie]

The pops are really good. You can also try them melted.

[papie]

We also use Gatorade. The kids hate the pedialyte drink, so we buy the ice pops and Gatorade and just offer bith.

[papie]

And sure Gatorade is not ideal, but it is better than nothing, and it will likely avoid getting in the hospital with an IV.

[thebuddhagouda]

The unflavored is a little saliney but would be easily masked by a stronger flavor. Would she drink it if you mixed the unflavored with a bit of sprite to make it taste better. That way the straight soda sugar wouldn't upset her stomach either.

[bab]

Wow, poor kid. I'd try ginger ale or Sprite. I agree that pedialyte is kind of nasty. Gatorade or Powerade are fine too

[Tacocat]

DD wouldn't drink Pedialyte after the age of 1.5 because of the taste. I'd suggest mixing it with Gatorade or water down the Gatorade. My DD got super dehydrated last year when she had the flu and the only thing she would drink was apple juice, so I watered it down with the plain pedialyte.

[sushi]

There's a clear almost flavorless kind. That's not too bad. Mix it with sparkling water

[robot]

I tasted Pedialyte when I had the stomach bug and discovered that it tastes horrific. Then I felt kinda bad for giving it to my kids in the past, ha. Gatorade is much better.
