Any idea what it is that doesn't sit well? Too much flavoring? Sugar?

I've had good luck with Vitalyte (formerly called Gookinaid). It's lower in sugar than some which is a good thing for me. It's the only drink I've tried that I didn't need to dilute to tolerate. The fruit punch and lemonade flavors are mild, and the citrus is very very gentle on the stomach (they recommend it when suffering from stomach illness). I can't drink the orange without some stomach upset, but it's more strongly flavored, which I think is the cause of my trouble.
