HFCS *and* aspartame? What are you even talking about? Also, most Gatorade bottles have 10-30g of sugar... which isn't enough to make someone "crash hard" unless they have diabetes or something...
Got a tip for us?

I have hypoglycemia, in which the HFCS in gatorade and powerade send me crashing and crashing hard. I would rather not spend another 2 days in the hospital from having these again, thank you.
I never did. Plus I know the rules here, thank you very much. You drink what you want, I drink what I want. All I am doing is saying what I drink and providing info on what it is. You want to turn this into a MLM thread? by all means, do. I'll see yourself thrown out of here faster than you can say 'Amway'.
Real nice way to assume because I drink something, I'm trying to get someone in on something.

Oh c'mon, let's at least be honest here:

Are we supposed to just guess that you were speaking to an audience of hypoglycemics?
Water is all you need. Just plain-jane water If you work out, you drink water to replace what you have sweat out. Eat your calories, not drink it......

Hypoglycemia is a symptom, not a disease or condition. You cannot just "have" hypoglycemia. You can have a tendency to become hypoglycemic, but it's not a chronic condition. My guess is that you drank a ton of Gatorade/Powerade, and didn't have a strenuous enough work out to use all of the sugar. Or you possibly didn't have enough protein.
Also, 2 days in the hospital? From a hypoglycemia incident? I find that hard to believe.

I'm pretty sure the title of the thread was "Gatorade or Powerade" though
The condition is permanent, but treatable with a proper diet. In short, I deal with it by changing my eating habits, but all in all, it is permanent like luggage. You're right. At the time, I didn't have enough protein, despite eating 3 meals/day. I've had to change that by cutting out the complex sugars, like the HFCS in these type of drinks, stopped drinking sodas altogether. 3 meals have become 6; smaller portions more often.
Hypoclycemia, hyperthyroidism, sinusitis, strep throat, and salmonella poisoning all at the same time could land anyone in the hospital. The hypoglycemia and hyperthyroidism are part symptom/part cause. The others primarily did me in. End result was that I fell asleep after eating the wrong food that wasn't packaged right, fell asleep, woke up 21 hours later in a hospital bed with an IV in my arm. Found out what I had from my doctor when I woke up.
That's neither here nor there now. I'm alive, doing better; that's all that matters.
