Probiotics for Oral Rehydration
‍

Dehydration is characterized by water deficit, it rarely occurs alone. It is accompanied by an electrolyte imbalance. Acute or chronic diarrhea can cause hyponatremic dehydration and can make it complicated. That can strip the bacteria in the gut and result in gut dysbiosis.

Oral Rehydration Salts are a combination of dry salts (electrolytes) and carbohydrates (in the form of sugar) that are mixed with water and consumed to replace the fluids and electrolytes lost due to dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, or gastroenteritis. Oral rehydration salts fortified with probiotics restore the beneficial bacteria in the gut and balance electrolytes in the body.
