An effective (as well as cheap and easy to make) oral rehydration solution for electrolyte replacement is to mix 8 teaspoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt mixed in 1 liter of water.

This homemade mixture kept me out of the hospital a year ago with dysentery. It didn't stop it, but it did prevent dehydration until the dysentery stopped. You actually develop a taste for it after a while!
