Food Poisoning: What Did I Eat Last Night?

Did you know food poisoning affects 1 out of 6 people every year?¹ Food poisoning is usually associated with symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. You or your family can lose fluids at a rate faster than they can be replenished. Sports drinks may contain too much sugar, which can worsen diarrhea or slow down the hydration process, but Pedialyte is designed with an optimal balance of sugar and sodium and has no more than one-half the sugar of the leading sports drink.^†

* Mild to moderate dehydration.
† Pedialyte has no more than 25g sugars per liter; leading sports drink has ~58g sugars per liter.
‡ 60 mEq sodium electrolytes per liter vs 45 mEq in original Pedialyte.
