Their site says

Without added sweeteners, Pedialyte is not sweet enough for many children to
drink. Adding sugar (sucrose) to Pedialyte may make diarrhea worse by
drawing water into the intestine, increasing the risk of dehydration. Adding
sweeteners like ace K (acesulfame potassium) and sucralose makes Pedialyte
taste good without the risks of adding sugar (sucrose).


That's all I know
