The Lite Salt has less sodium and adds potassium chloride in place. The fluid losses probably need the full sodium replacement, but adding the Lite Salt on top of things for the potassium might be a good idea. The key will be figuring out how much of the Lite Salt to add, however.

@SurvivalMedicine So I looked up a commercial product and it contains 3.5g NaCl, 1.5g KCl, 2.9g Trisodium Citrate, and 20g Glucose.
Using the calculations found on the web 1t salt = 2.4g and 1t sugar = 4.2g getting the balance of KCl and NaCl from their formula would be 1t salt and 1t lite salt (50% NaCl and 50% KCl) 3.6g NaCl and 1.2g KCl.. the sugar balance would be somewhat different due to glucose vs sugar and the Trisodium Citrate adds more sodium as well.
