Yeah, the Pedialyte probably is better than Gatorade...probably doesn't have as much sugar either.
In high school, we had to drink Pedialyte before every football game. This stuff really works. I only got cramps one time during a game ... and it really was my fault for not taking in more fluids during the game.
It's probably hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hyponatremia...loss of electrolytes that accompanies dehydration. In the ER when someone comes in who's detoxing from alcohol intake they give what's called a 'banana bag'. It's an IV fluid mixture that's rich in electrolytes. Gatorade time.
Got a buddy who swears by that Pedia Lite stuff they give to babies. Says it works better than gatorade. May have to give it a try
