I used this and several other recipes to come up with my own homemade Pedialyte my boys really enjoy. I am confused though about what the purpose of the baking soda is. How does baking soda balance and hydrate?

    My daughter is drinking this now, since she's been sick since about 1 am today... so thank you very much for sharing this recipe. Saved me a (very) early morning trip to the store. Like I saw someone else mention, the salt substitute is what adds the potassium electrolyte, so it's probably a bad idea to leave it out.

    I have not tried this recipe. But I know that Pedialyte contains potassium (an electrolyte) and this recipe does not. I would recommend if you use this to try to get the person to eat a potassium rich fruit or veggie as well, such as bananas, baked potatoes (with peel) or orange juice, among others. If you are going for balanced electrolytes, it may be necessary. One of the biggest ways to tell if someone is low on potassium is if they feel some vague pain in the legs. This recipe is good for helping keep up the salts and fluids, however. Thanks for posting!

    Great recipe! With two children in sports, we will use this often! As for the comments on the Potassium, you get that from adding the salt substitute. The one I have is Morton salt substitue, and it contains 610mg per 1/4 tsp potassium. Thanks again for shairng this recipe...what a money saver!!
