I just wanted to share how helpful Powerade ZEROS has helped me a lot with staying hydrated, getting electrolytes quickly and easily, without sugars and has helped with a lot of other random symptoms I get from lack of nutrients having a jpouch such as nausea, foot spasms and my overall feeling I drink several throughout the day along with water and the difference is noticeable. Hope this helps someone in the jpouch world

I had problems drinking anything except for water. It used to be any drink (even water) would cause me to have diarrhea.Maybe I can try drinking Powerade again though because it's been a while since I tried it. I'm glad it helps you though.
Sorry to hear that. That's horrible. There really is no one size fits all but if you do try it again make sure it's the ZERO calorie Powerade. It's sugar free.
Ok thanks I'll try the zero because anything with sugar in it causes me problems.
Hi, I carry a water bottle with me all day every day. Just sip throughout the day. Also, to add some vitamins I use my infuser and add fruit and vegetables. I can tolerate better this way. In winter and when I am running on low energy I use emergence C-. This is a powder with every vitamin u need and I add to my water.
I also carry a water bottle with me all day. I have been hospitalized twice for dehydration. I have an ileostomy and lose a lot of water. The problem with dehydration is that you don't know you're clinically dehydrated until it's too late. I will try the Gatorade.
Thanks for the tip
