I mix up my own electrolyte solution.
It started as an attempt to be close to what is in Pedialyte (but with a bit less dextrose) so it uses potassium chloride and sodium citrate along with table salt (sodium chloride).
1/2 teaspoon salt (sodium chloride)
3/8 teaspoon sodium citrate
3/8 teaspoon potassium chloride
1 to 2 teaspoons powdered dextrose
Add 1 liter of water, mix well and chill.
Here's a slightly different recipe that uses baking soda:
3/8 teaspoon salt (sodium chloride)
1/4 teaspoon salt substitute (potassium chloride)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
1 to 2 teaspoons powdered dextrose
Add 1 liter of water, mix well and chill.
I hope I didn't make any typos here....
I think these are probably different ratios from the updated WHO recipe for oral rehydration solution with different osmolality (don't ask me what that means, exactly). I'm not sure how much the ratios matter.
My biggest concern when I started was that I was already on prescription potassium and didn't want to be taking too much (since there are so many warnings about it). I checked with my cardiologist and he didn't seem to think there was any problem with drinking Pedialyte, or the equivalent, even if I drank it every day. Your mileage may vary so check with your doctor(s).
I have not noticed much difference between these two recipes. I have noticed a difference when I don't use any dextrose in the recipe.
According to several folks on a thread at PR there shouldn't need to be any sugar in this solution for POTS/NMH folks unlike what is needed for typical patients using these solutions. However, maybe because I often skip dinner (empty stomach means better sleep for me) it seems to work better for me if there is some dextrose included.
See this thread for a discussion of what sugar does to aid absorption -
