[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I give it in gatorade as well.  I actually just sneak it in there and don't tell my dd it's in the gatorade.  [/quote]

OMG I can't believe pediatricians are telling you guys to feed your children gatorade and you're OK with it?  :shock: [/quote]

Gatorade got my daughter, uh, moving as well.  You do what you have to do.  If the child won't drink enough water to accommodate a full dose of the medication, you give them something they will drink.  Contrary to what you think may result from drinking Gatorade, my daughter did not become addicted to it, nor did she subsequently develop a sweet tooth.  She rarely, if ever, chooses to drink juice.  And she hasn't touched Gatorade (again, her choice) since her bout of constipation.  Gatorade was effective for the constipation, and kept her hydrated.[/quote]

Gatorade is not sweet, darling... it's SALTY! It has just too many electrolytes and it messes up with their system!!! If they don't have an electrolyte imbalance it's harmful!!! It's worse than giving pediasure to a child that is not dehydrated. People with high blood pressure are not allowed to drink G. I still can't believe doctors are telling parents to feed it to their healthy children![/quote]
