Hi Dee...

Yes, that would be bicarbonate of soda.

You are more than welcome.

Best regards...

that was what I couldn't find on Googling i.e. smaller amounts and also 
unflavoured.  Your recipe looks good and easy to use.  By baking soda (and I 
know we have been through all this)  would you mean what I call bicarbonate of 
soda, because I have that.  Thanks for the info.  dee

It is strictly up to you...I was just trying to provide you with an alternative 
to the pricey stuff or if you could not get it but if you have the money...go 
for it.

Pedialyte: Each bottle contains: water, dextrose, potassium citrate, sodium 
chloride and sodium citrate. Nonmedicinal ingredients: FD&C Blue #1 and Red #40 
(grape flavor) and FD&C Red #40 (bubblegum flavor). Bottles of 1 000 mL 
(unflavored, fruit and bubble-gum flavored). Cases of 8. Do not freeze. For 
hospital use: glass bottles of 240 mL (unflavored), cases of 24. Protect from 
heat. After opening, store Pedialyte under refrigeration and use within 48 
hours.

1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
