How many calories in Diorolyte Electrolyte Powders?

Question

I might not have spelt that right. They are for when you are dehydrated... (UK)

Answer 1

It contains around 150 depending on the flavour.

In the first few days Oral rehydration solution is the best drink to heal and calm the bowel. It also provides water and calories so you don't need to worry about eating. It can be bought over the counter as Dioralyte, Lucozade Sport or Isostar.

It can also be made up as follows:
Take half a 5ml spoon (level teaspoon) of salt and Eight 5ml spoons of sugar and add to 1 litre (1 and 3/4 pints) of water.
Dissolve thoroughly and then flavour to suit with orange/lemon or blackcurrant squash (optional).
Drink as much of this solution as you like but at least 1 glass an hour sipped frequently over the first day. After that it can be drunk whenever you are thirsty.

An alternative drink is 50% real Coke and water with a pinch of salt to each glass.

Answer 2

Gatorade.
