Gatorade Alternatives?

Dealing with a nasty, nasty sinus infection these past couple days. Fortunately, the antibiotics aren't wreaking too much havoc, but I have been trying to stay as hydrated as possible.

Gatorade has always been my go-to, doctor-endorsed drink while sick, but I noticed today that it's loaded with high fructose corn syrup, which I've cut out of my diet. I was too sick to run out again and find another drink, and fortunately I only got a little nauseous, but is there an alternative to Gatorade that doesn't have HFCS?

Thanks!

or vitamin water, those have electrolytes.

Unless you are suffering serious D or vomiting, water is just fine. Since the usual electrolyte that is needed to rectify electrolyte imbalance is sodium, an extra sprinkle of salt on your food would probably be enough. For prolonged electrolyte imbalance, you would need to supplement the range of electrolytes: sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. You might want a doctor's advice if you suspect chronic electrolyte imbalance.

Thanks for the replies! For some reason straight water is hard for me to get down with an especially sore throat (I almost have a gagging reaction)--i even prefer sparkling water to it. I might try to track down that emergen-c mix that jon recommended and then rely on hot water, lemon, and honey for the rest. Thanks again!

Another Powerade Zero drinker here. Gatorade had too much sugar in it. No complaints with P0 but I think sucralose tastes a bit funky.

A friend just told me about coconut water. (Her daughter's an athlete and they use it in place of gatorade-type products) I've never purchased it, but she swears by it. I have no idea yet if it has sugar or sugar substitutes, but she says not. Coconut is known for its health benefits--especially for the gut! Maybe it would be good! Here's a link:

I use Powerade.

E-Lyte has a great balance of electrolytes. I hate the taste though. Salty water = yuck.
