We have been hit by the stomache bug. All of the children have had the usual symptoms. And it worries me when I can't get them to drink..ANYTHING. They do not drink Pedialyte or gatorade, etc. So some years ago I stumbled upon this homemade recipe for an electrolyte solution that I have used. It tastes like salty water but not too salty. I give them this alittle at a time and it seems to really help with the stomache bug symptoms.
5 cups of water boiled
8 level tsp sugar
1 level tsp salt
Stir together until sugar/salt is dissolved. Wait until cooled to serve.
It is really simple and I think there are other ways to make this.... I am just relaying what my family uses in hopes to help anyone else that may be in the same situation.

Feel better little ones...call me if you need me to pick up anything for you guys. Strep throat is rampant at Makefield. I am bathing the kids in hand gel and then rosemary spray in their hair. Lovely!
Hi, e.m.! I hope you all are feeling better - and thanks so much for the tip about the homemade electrolyte solution. So glad you stopped by my blog to visit - nice to meet you! I'll be adding you to my list, too! :)
