Home-made ORS: Sugar or molasses (40 g) can be used as a substitute for glucose to prepare home-made ORS. Common salt (5 g) will be added to it and dissolved in one liter of clean water.
Rice-ORS: Rice powder (50 g) can replace the sugar or glucose. The amount of the other salts will remain the same. These will be dissolved in one liter of clean water to prepare rice-based ORS. Studies showed that rice-based ORS can reduce vomiting and diarrhea more in some cases compared to the conventional ORS prepared with glucose.
