Commercial sports drinks, such as Gatorade, are specifically designed to replace fluids and electrolytes lost during physical activity or illness. Saltine crackers can also help to replace sodium lost through diarrhea. Low-fat milk, cookies, iced-tea, brownies, and regular coffee may not be effective in replacing fluids and electrolytes lost through diarrhea.
