[blparent] Stomach flu

[Michael Baldwin]

Around here, 7-up is given for stomach aches. Works best when warm. 7-up and
Sprite do not have caffeine in them.
Ginger-ale is the best, but that is actually hard to find in our area.

The Pedialyte popsicles are actually sold in the baby section or pharmacy of
stores. Pedialyte also makes flavored solutions and not just the plain
electrolyte solution you add to drinks. The flavored ones actually taste
pretty good with flavors like bubble gum, grape, apple and fruit punch. Only
use Pedialyte after speaking with a doctor or pharmacist though. And not a
pharmacy assistant, but the actual pharmacist.

I've heard of giving Sprite or 7-Up if a kids dehydrated, but sparingly, but
no other soda beyond this. I guess the goal is to push liquids of any kind,
but soda acts as a dieretic because of the caffeine, and if diet, the
nutrasweet, which of course, extra urination due to a dieretic doesn't help
when dehydrated.
