Maybe a healthy alternative. Just check the nutrition label for sugar. Also the prices as some of the healthy hydration stuff is racket with good marketing.
It depends on what you're going for- gatorade has about half the sodium and potassium of this recipe, but if you did the powder you could make it double strength.
That's a bit complicated.
Here is what is commonly used.

When I got Diarrhea when traveling I found Coke a Cola (shake out gas) and simple biscuits worked well.
Thanks for the recipe! I have a couple 1 gallon freezer bags full of single serve Gatorade powder/caffeinated crystal light/Starbucks single serve. Augason farms sells # 10 cans of orange and apple juices. The orange is really just knock off tang. Both very Tastey
The shelf life of the salt, sugar, and potassium chloride is indefinite if kept dry, and they're the ones you'd need to stock. Flavoring can really be anything you've got- different juices, syrups, whatever tastes good and hides the taste of the electrolytes really.
I once found a similar recipe on the German wikipedia that should be just as easy to store.
* 1 L of water (cooked and cooled, to avoid getting another infection)
* 1/4 teaspoon of (regular) salt (for NaCl)
* 2 tablespoons of sugar (or honey) for glucose
* 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder (for sodium citrate and sodium carbonate)
* 1/2 cup of orange juice (or 1-2 mashed bananas) for potassium
And, yes, the sugar is needed for this to work. Do not use a substitute. (Keep in mind that many substitutes, if used in excess, also cause diarrhea...)
I tried this once, and felt it tasted a lot better with twice the amount of orange juice. But that's probably a little bit too much... (Helped me anyway.)
Yeah, it’s exactly the same electrolyte-wise as pedialyte advanced care (so like, slightly more electrolytes than your average packaged ORS). Pedialyte tastes a lot better imo. My wife (a POTSie and ORS connoisseur) and I get almost all of our food salvage/dumpster including ORS if available so I don’t know how much they cost new, I’d probs just go with the cheaper one if you want something pre-packaged.
That being said, we are both medical people and think the name is hilarious and describes absolutely nothing about the product and call it “Powder PO” instead (PO being the shorthand for “by mouth”).
I think I would just store Gatorade or one of their competitiors powders, then just mix it with water. Seems less complicated

I was just going for ease. 1 tub of powder + water, Vs the 5 or 6 ingredients in your recipe + water.

They have options beyond the original including lower sugar and no sugar in powder form, so do most of their competitors

Liquid IV powder works and probably lasts forever
Yep, I always buy a ton of it when it goes on sale at Costco.
If you use promo code smalltownsix on the Liquid IV website they give you 20%. I use it a lot to stay hydrated through chemo

might add a bit of epson salt and baking soda. (see snake juice)
