[Lija]

try to look for any brand of unflavored electrolyte solution, it might be in powder form and/or called differently, something should be there, it is used for babies and babies are sensitive to coloring/flavors.

Lija, New Zealand has no where *near* the variety in shops (or online) as North America does... Often you get one or two brands, one or two flavours/types, and that's *it*. And since we (apparently?) don't have the same degree of allergy-prevalence here as many other countries, flavour/colour/allergen-free stuff can be hard to find and sometimes expensive. (As someone with chemical sensitivities that would make a frog proud, I've learned this the hard way!)

I haven't seen unflavoured electrolyte powder recently here at all. BlueKiwiOca, you might have better luck with Enerlyte than Gastrolyte or Pedialyte; that's the only one I've seen in a plain powder, although it's often hard to get. (At least you're in Akl, and not like, Gore or Levin or Katikati or somewhere with even fewer shops! )

i imagine that i meant in pharmacies, your mentioned enerlyte and gastrolyte will most likely do, doesn't matter brand, as long as it is water+ bunch of electrolytes. it is used for babies when they have diarrhea to restore electrolyte balance.

I've checked the local pharmacies, plus online pharmacies and supermarkets - apparently the done thing here is to go ahead and fill your babies up with bubblegum and orange flavourings. o.O

I never really thought about it one the rare occasions I've bought orange-flavoured Gastrolyte or whatever in the past... I imagine it would be really difficult for people with food colouring intolerances to try and find electrolyte powders or liquids here.
