Sadly, I only had a neighborhood liquor store so my pickings were slim this afternoon. But the Gatorade actually helped before, so I'm hopeful this time.

When I was a kid and having chronic kidney and bladder infections, I was essentially force-fed Gatorade by my doctors for the better part of 3 years. To this day the idea of drinking it voluntarily makes me gag.
But I'm glad it's working for Aims!

Why Gatorade for the infections? I'm curious.

Well, the alternative was a prescription electrolyte replacement drink that tasted like cat pee. It was in addition to the antibiotics.

Was it to help balance out the pH levels or summat in your UT?
(Sorry for being pokery in your bizniss - with my frequent UTI's and what not, I'm curious as to anything anyone has done to alleviate them.

I wish I could remember, but I was 6 - I don't think my doctors ever gave me a real explanation, just "you have to drink this yellow stuff that tastes like cat pee....or some Gatorade...."

When I was a kid and had any kind of digestive ick my mother would make me drink warm liquid Jello.
It took years before I could even think about even (semi)solid Jello.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
My kids had lactose intolerance, not diagnosed till they were weaned onto whole cows' milk. Their ped put them on "Jello water," which was Jello with twice the amount of water. He was concerned about the lack of calcium in their diet.
Apparently the amount of sugar and food coloring didn't bother him. We switched to half-strength juices, and re-introduced dairy slowly, and they did fine.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I try not to think about any form of Jello. Food should not wiggle. I was never a fan of Jello, but it probably didn't help that my grandmother served squares of plain Jello on limp pieces of lettuce and topped with a glob of mayonnaise as a "salad."
I find I have to dilute Gatorade, because it's so sweet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Who here drinks a lot of milk? I go through a gallon every 2 to 4 days. I use milk for my cereal and oatmeal but also just chug it from the milk container.
Maybe it's something to do with growing up on a dairy farm....
