Hey gang. I am looking for some info and am going crazy with all the info I am finding so I am hoping someone can help me out.

My son(9) suffers from migraines. His trigger is mild dehydration. Water alone does not help. The key is electrolytes. The neurologist had suggested Gatorade and it does the trick to keep the migraines away. (One every 10 days when not monitored). I am looking for other drinks that may do the trick too. We are trying Smart water, vitamin water, powerade......
Mostly I am becoming more and more concerend about his future health with drinking one or two gatorades a day.

I am looking for a list of drinks that will help replenish electrolytes. I find individual drinks but I want to find and compare sodium levels, sugar levels and ingredients in different drinks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
