OK so lots of comments about healthy alternatives and such.. but you asked what taste best, well to me that's the Gatorade glacier cherry. I buy the individual powder packs and mix my own, and I get the zero sugar one, but imo that's the best flavor.

I just got that yesterday to try since I'm trying everything in the store. It's not as terrible as a lot of the others. I can't say I love it, but I'll drink it.
Gatorade. Water sucks. Gatorade tastes better and quenches your thirst better, too!
(I especially like the AM/PM exclusive flavor)
I hate Gatorade.
I've only really had 3 that weren't simply "salted" water:
Gatorade, Powerade, and Electrolyt.
Powerade has less sugar, but tastes sweeter somehow, which is I don't like it.
The electrilyt is a cheaper Pedialyte, and it burns for some reason. Like swalloing nicotine gum spit (which is very unpleasant if you've never experience it; imagine heart burn but backwards).
I wanted to like Propel but it just tastes like water someone dropped a single drop of fruit juice into. Which makes it worse than just water.
All three of those are literally salted sugar water... What do you mean not just salted water?
I think he doesn't want to taste the salt
Hammer Fizz is my go-to. Taste is great, very low sugar, potassium sodium and magnesium. The caffeinated cola flavor is my favorite.
Never even seen that one.
My favorite is "skratch labs", though it is... gatorade-adjacent.
Reading your previous post, would a cannabis tincture or concentrates help with the appetite? Assuming all food doesn't just straight up make the condition worse.
No, sorry, cannabis doesn't help. But thanks.
That's a shame. I have had something similar and it's turned into a life long merry go round of symptoms, sometimes winding back to where you are now. No doctor has been able to diagnose it and I have had every test available. I really wouldn't recommend it, it has serious malabsortpion problems and I truly believe it all started by not eating for almost 3 weeks straight because I was too nauseous to keep anything down.
Would you be able to swallow a pill and keep it down for more than 30 minutes?
Yes, I can take my pills.
Another question, are you also experiencing constipation, or were you before the symptoms got really bad?
I am now, but that's from not eating. I wasn't before though.
Powerade is like the discount Gatorade.
When I was abroad, my favorite was BodyArmor ~~Blackout~~ Mixed Berry (apparently they're discontinued).
Pocari sweat
Its not the best tasting electrolyte drink sorry, but it helps me when i need electrolyte and i enjoy it compared to gatorade
PS: it taste citrusy(if thats a word) and not so sweet compared to gatorade
I like the brand LMNT. They are a little more expensive compared to others but the flavor variation is a good switch up if you don't want to make your own (I like watermelon salt personally).
They also have an article on how to make your own at home
Tbh I made my own as a means of adding extra Potassium to my diet. i.e potassium bicarbonate, citric acid and my flavoring of choice (one was cherry and the other was mango)
I hate to admit it but Prime actually tastes really good.
