Abstract
To the Editor.— The article by Dr Snyder, "Use and Misuse of Oral Rehydration Therapy for Diarrhea,"1 led us to review our treatment of gastroenteritis, revise our telephone protocols, and seek out rehydration solutions. Our difficulty in obtaining adequate supplies mirrored that of Dr O'Banion.2 Expense to the patient is also an important factor: commercial premixed solutions sell for $4 to $6 per quart in our area, which many families cannot pay. Our solution was to obtain from the World Health Organization the name of the US supplier of oral rehydration solution (ORS) packets and order direct from the supplier (Jianas Bros Packaging Co, 2533 SW Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64108).
