Now that you have posted this, it is exactly what I was told. I knew I
wasn't saying it correctly when I posted but mostly wanted to get it
across that you shouldn't mix Pedialyte (or any other electrolyte
supplement) with other things. I often can remember that something
is "good" or "bad" but can't remember why! LOL

Thanks for clarifying.
