Recipe for rehydration

Here’s something I wanted to make available for anyone who needs it (I have been asked to share it with extended family, and thought it would be good to have it kept somewhere for others to see as well). A cheap and easy recipe for treating a tummy upset:




Recipe for rehydration after vomiting and diarrhoea (kind of like a sports drink or one of those fancy pharmacy sachets but it is a lot easier for kids to stomach)…



1 part juice

2 parts water

2 pinches salt per 200 ml

2 pinches baking soda per 200 ml

a dash of lemonade for fun (optional)



Sip small amounts often.

Avoid any protein foods (dairy, meats, fatty foods) for about three days.



That final little piece of advice – to avoid proteins – will save you a long and painful recovery time.



All the best!
