Advantages: quick recovery from stomach bugs

Disadvantages: only in blackcurrant flavour

Stomach bugs aren't just a thing that we get during barbecue season and on holiday in Spain!

There are many cases of upset stomaches, and, more seriously, food poisoning, at Christmas time.

Think about all the things that could cause a problem including that left over turkey, party buffets that have been on the table for hours, pork pies, things on sticks. The list is endless.

Having too much to drink is another frequent problem over the festive season too. You can end up being a real party pooper and spending most of your time in the loo.

This is always the time when someone does something that will provide material for office gossip for a whole year, and you miss it.

Dioralyte powder treats the dehydration that results from stomach upset. It contains the exact balance of glucose and salts your body needs to help it recover from sickness and diarrhoea attacks.

Children tend to be more susceptible to these bugs than adults and Dioralyte is okay for them to take too. ( Don't take my word for that, always read the label for safety instructions.)

The powders come in a box of 8 sachets and each one is individually foil wrapped. You simply mix them with cold water and drink. The mildly blackcurrant flavour makes them refreshing too.

The cost? £3.19 for a box of eight. I thought these powders were very effective and they did aid recovery, so they are value for money.

You can be up and running, and enjoying party again after just a few hours. It's worth keeping these in the cupboard just incase.
