In case you were wondering: yes, my kids get sick, too. A lot. The stomach bug made a brief appearance at our place last week. Thankfully, my kids seem to love Pedialyte (orange flavor is the favorite), but parents frequently report that kids don't like the taste of it. As an experiment, I made a batch of Jell-O, using Pedialyte instead of water. I followed the usual instructions on the package, substituting Pedialyte for water. It gelled up just fine, and the kids seemed to like it. It is probably better to use the sugar-free kind, as anything too sweet or sugary will tend to make diarrhea worse. You may also want to avoid the red colors -- red vomit or diarrhea can be startling and make you think of blood. It will also stain your carpet. Good luck!
