How about pedialyte?  From what I understand, though, electrolytes are
sodium, but pedialyte is low in sugar content.  Can't give you
figures, but it's what doctors recommend for babies who need fluid.

The purpose of electrolyte replacements is to provide sodium and potassium.
However they need to be quite dilute to be effective. If you put too
concentrated a sugar or salt solution (hypertonic) in the stomach the body
pulls fluids from other areas to try and dilute it there. A solution that's
diluted to a lower level than the body fluids (hypotonic) causes the body to
absorb the fluid into the system which is what you want in this case.

Remember that the body will usually try to keep electrolyte levels equal
inside and outside the gut (homeostasis).

Here's a recipe to try.

                          Electrolyte Drinks

Recipe By     : Pete Romfh
Serving Size  : 4    Preparation Time :0:05
Categories    : Drinks & Beverages

 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1/4  teaspoon      salt
    1/4  teaspoon      baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
    1/2  cup               orange juice
                               OR 1/2 mashed banana (these provide
potassium)
  2      tablespoons   sugar
                       OR 1 1/2 Tbsp honey
                       OR 1 TBS Splenda (or other sugar substitute)
  1      liter         water
                       lemon juice to taste (if desired--just for flavor)

Some people find that this is unpleasantly sweet, hence the lemon juice. If
you don't have baking soda, you can use 1/2 tsp salt. Another version of
this would double the amount of salt, baking soda, and orange juice/banana;
the most recent studies in childhood diarrhea (which use potassium chloride
in place of the orange/banana) show that the more dilute version gives
better results.

(If you're using this for diarrhea, by the way, 2 Tbsp rice flour and the
whole thing simmered briefly works even better than 2 Tbsp sugar.)

<garym_jacksonfurniture_dontspamme_@hotmail.com> Huffed and Puffed the
following into the madness of usenet:

Diet Gatoraide.  it's hard to find in some places because many people
do not ask for it.

Now, if the doctor told a diabetic to drink regular gatoraide when she
was already dehydrated, you need to get a new doctor.  Drinking
regular gatoraide will raise BGs which will increase the rate of
dehydration.

Electrolytes are sodium and potassium.  Is there some reason why she can't
have sodium?  Sugar free sports drinks are available in some areas.  If you
can't find one, then look online for a recipe.  There are plenty.

G'day G'day Gary,

How about V8 vegetable juice?

http://www.v8juice.com/nutrition.aspx

The description of its virtues is pretty terrible but it might give
you some idea of the benefits. (They probably can't spell ORAC and
don't get me started on the V8 "diet")  

They have low sodium versions and vegetable are excellent sources of
magnesium and potassium. The big lesson from the DASH diet was that
blood pressure could be reduced by improving the intake of magnesium
and potassium without changing the sodium intake.  This came as a
surprise to those who don't realise it is only a subpopulation who are
sodium sensitive.  For those who are the DASH diet works better with
some sodium restriction BUT and its the big BUT, lowering sodium is
less important than improving magnesium and potassium.  Even improving
calcium via low fat cheese eg cottage cheese improves their health

Best wishes,

I do a lot of hiking, and found myself with similar needs (I'm a Type
2 diabetic).

I use Propel, which is sugar free and low (but not no) carb. I'm very
happy with it. It has 3 g's of carbs, 35 mg of sodium, 10 calories,
plus some C, E, and B vitamins. I don't see potassium mentioned by
amount, but one of the ingredients is acesulfamine potassium.

It's made by Gatorade.

Pedialyte, the unsweetened, unflavored one they use for infants.  She can
add her own flavorings, if she likes.
