With respect to all who have already posted, the carbs in the pedialyte are not only for taste. It does help the taste for children, but having carbs in an oral rehydration solution is helpful in regaining health. When having severe diarhea, or with vomiting, getting some calories is very useful. Using fructose instead of sucrose can be helpful.

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
