Mitch Kellaway: Father's Day as a Transgender Man
Make-your-own oral rehydration solution! (i.e. pedia-lyte)
Filed under: Health & Safety: Babies, Nutrition: Health
If the families of our bloggers are any indication, it's flu season! As part of the festivities,
our babies are drinking lots of oral rehydration solution, sometimes known as Pedialyte or one of its various generic
names.
When Charlie was diagnosed with rotavirus, mom and dad did what any budget-conscious, net-savvy family would do: they Googled homemade Pedialyte. And they discovered that you can make your own with one teaspoon of salt, eight teaspoons of sugar, and one liter of drinkable water.
Naturally, that tastes terrible. Charlie wouldn't drink it. But his smart papa deconstructed Gerber's Liquilytes, added three teaspoons of Splenda and a packet of unsweetened fruit punch Kool-aid, and voila! quaffable homemade oral rehydration solution.

Hangover Heaven: The Vegas Hangover Cure on Wheels
“When people come here, it's not a matter of whether or not they're going to have a hangover, it's just a matter of how bad it's going to be,” says Dr. Jason Burke, anesthesiologist and founder of Hangover Heaven.
Based in Las Vegas, Hangover Heaven roams the strip treating partygoers with IVs on a decked-out charter bus. Dr. Burke uses a combination of vitamins, magnesium and calcium to rehydrate patients and get toxins out of their systems after countless hours of drinking.

Julie said...Three TABLESPOONS of Splenda, if I may be so bold as to offer a correction. Absolutely imperative to stun the poor kid's taste buds into an immediate and complete shutdown.
We also refined the recipe to include only half a packet of Kool-Aid, because, egad, it was a little alarming to see just how pink his diapers were.
