Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Gatorade & Other safe drinks?

I LOVE gatorade as well. When I lived in the dorms, everyone made fun of me cuz I would go to Costco and buy huge crates full, and when you live in a dorm you barely have room for a bed, let alone crates of Gatorade! Lol.

I've found Gatorade to be a very safe beverage for me...and the electrolytes are always nice, I really go crazy on it when I get sick/dehydrated. But everyone's different -- I know for a fact that Powerade makes me sicker than a dog! Go figure!

One question regarding drinks -- Other than tea, what are some safe drinks for IBS that people can recommend? I tend to get extremely thirsty, especially in the warm months of AZ (I go through whole cartons of OJ or Ocean Spray in 1-2 days at home). Water tends to make me bloat, and throws me into cramps on empty stomachs when cold. I love lemonade -- when in restaurants I'll drink 5 glasses (literally -- I'm such a lush

) Sooooo I was wondering what others drink for "on the go" type drinks. I like smoothies and other homemade concoctions, but I'm thinking more "gatorade-type" beverages that I can drink in between classes and while at work. Plus it would be great to hear what others drink besides water and tea??

TTFN,
cheme
