Do you know if sugar free Gatorade (G2) would be similar to the concoction you describe above?
The concoction I described is not something I've conjured up myself; it was supplied by St Marks, London; the Hospital where the J pouch preceedure was pioneered; St Marks is also a Centre of Excellence.
The e-mix Oral Rehydration Solution is also recommended by the World Health Organisation.
I've be informed by GastroIntestinal Doctors that sports hydration drinks tend to contain too much sugar; this has also been reiterated by some members within this forum.
An article I read, specifically mentioned that Gatorade contained too much sugar for Rehydration Therapy.
According to the Gatorade website, it states that one 355 ml serving of Gatorade (G2) contains 7g of Sugar.
Other than the serving quantities, I'm unable to confirm the sugar content of the e-mix hydration solution compared to that of the Gatorade (G2).
According to the Gatorade website; it replenishes lost electrolytes with half the sugar, so I guess it's a similar substance to the St Marks e-mix Solution but whether it's as effective, I would think not, due to its sugar content.
