Should I be drinking gatorade or water?

I can't remember what my OB said for the terrible diarrhea for my last pregnancy. I think gatorade if it lasts for x number of days?

Gatorade to replace the electrolites (sp?) Hope you feel better!

Yes Gatorade. My OB suggested G2 because it has the electrolytes you need with about half of the sugar of regular Gatorade.

Thanks ladies! I was really hoping I'd get lucky and skip this awful symptom this time. I thought I was in the clear since I had it as soon as I found out with Ryan, but it's definitely showing up.

OMG I have IBS and i have diahhrea every morning so bad! My doc said my IBS will just get worse during pregnancy unfortunately but Im glad to hear someone else has somewhat of the same issue! I think instead of morning sickness of throwing up I get it coming out the other end! And I have to watch anything and everything I eat cause it makes it worse!

You could also drink SmartWater or pedialyte to replace your electrolytes.

If you have a Whole Foods or natural foods store near you I would check out Recharge- pretty much the same thing as Gatorade, but without all the added sugar. 

Feel better!

I've been drinking gatorade because water just makes me feel worse. Hope you feel better soon

i sometimes mix it half and half since gatorade has so much sugar.  hope you feel better soon.
