Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Help Please...doc recommended Gatorade but...

I went to the doctors today because the abdominal pain and D that came after my barium test have actually gotten worse, and they said I still can't take anything (i.e. Immodium or anything) because of the barium and that I should probably just stick to a liquid diet. Because all I've been doing is drinking water and herbal tea (and not really eating at all) she said that I need to drink Gatorade or something similar to get Electrolytes into me. However, I know that I've read on the boards before that gatorade isn't all that "tummy safe" so I was wondering if anyone else has any other suggestions? Is powerade or pedialyte any different?
I've heard of Reebok water as well, and they apparently have a "Natural" flavor that isn't sweetened, although I can only find the sweetened ones. Here's a link to their site: http://www.clearly.ca/brands/reebok/usa-natural.html Does that look safer than Gatorade?
Any advice would be great...I know I need to get something into me but figuring out what has been tricky, I definately don't want to make anything worse.
