Electrolytes

I've had a few set backs (after a brilliant start) in my recovery from
surgery and adjustment to colon-less life. I returned to the hospitol
twice due to cramping, reduced ostomy output, and possible blockage.
I'm not eating peanuts whole or swallowing woody plants, so my docs
suspect electrolyte imbalance (along with other things).

They have recommended I drink gatorade or pedialyte - both of which are
loaded with high fructose corn syrup (bad) and/or sugar (not wuite as
bad). Can anyone suggest a low sugar alternative? I need to avoid the
excess sugar and calories for a number of reasons. Obesity, diabetes,
and high blood pressure all run in my family and can (as you know) be
caused by and exacerbated by high sugar in take. I'm also not able to
exercise much yet (ostomy is two months old) to combat the caloric
intake.

I appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks!
