Can acetate replace bicarbonate in oral rehydration solution for infantile diarrhoea?

F C Patra et al. Arch Dis Child. 1982 Aug.

Abstract

In a double-blind trial two groups of 20 infants and young children suffering from diarrhoeal dehydration and acidosis were successfully treated with an acetate and a bicarbonate containing oral rehydration solution. The former was found to be as effective as the latter and was equally acceptable to the patient.
