Abstract
Dr Lallier writes that the taste of oral rehydration solutions (ORS) is an impediment to their use. I concur that ORS commonly in use in the United States are not tasty to my palate either. Exceptions are the CeraLyte rice-based oral electrolyte solutions (Cera Products, Columbia, MD), which are not readily available and have not yet been adequately studied in children. Some advocate the addition of powders or flavored sugarless solutions to enhance the palatability of ORS.
