Say goodbye to store-bought solutions and hello to hydration with this simple and effective homemade Pedialyte recipe. Perfect for all ages, this homemade electrolyte drink can help replenish lost electrolytes and fluids during dehydration caused by illness, exercise, or heat. Whether you’re dealing with a dehydrated child, a sick child, or even a stomach virus, this DIY solution is here to support your rehydration needs. 

Electrolytes: Your Hydration Heroes 

Electrolytes, such as sodium carry an electrical charge which is important for keeping you hydrated and making your muscles work. When the body loses electrolytes through sweat, illness, or other factors, it can lead to severe dehydration and an electrolyte imbalance that negatively impacts your body. 

This homemade Pedialyte recipe is great for: 

• Your sick kid in need of a quick recovery: Helps rehydrate and replenish lost electrolytes during illness. 
• Stomach bugs to replenish lost fluids: Provides necessary hydration and minerals during bouts of stomach flu or virus. 
• Loose stools: When your digestive system needs some regulation, adjusting your electrolyte balance prevents diarrhea caused by moderate dehydration. 
• After a workout or a hot day: Restores electrolytes lost through sweat and physical exertion. 
• Curing a hangover: Rehydrates and replenishes vital minerals to help you recover faster from a night of getting “over-served.” 

Healthy Hydration with Simple Ingredients 

Homemade Pedialyte offers a healthier alternative to store-bought Pedialyte or sports drinks, which often contain hidden artificial flavors and sweeteners, preservatives, and other undesirable ingredients. By making your own Pedialyte at home, you can ensure that you are using only the best components. Using True Lemon gives you peace of mind that your simple recipe is: 

• Non-GMO: True Lemon products are made with non-GMO ingredients, ensuring you’re consuming ingredients you can pronounce.  
• Gluten-free: Safe for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. 
• Zero or Low Sugar: Helps avoid the excessive sugars found in many commercial electrolyte drinks.
