I use Liquid IV. Try to drink 20 oz per day. I love my 20 oz of tea in the morning; it's difficult to give up.

Thank you all who responded to my dehydration issues. It's been awhile. I got excellent tips. My magnesium got dangerously low a couple months ago and had weekly infusions. It hard to balance out supplements, drink, food. I never saw surgeon after surgery Dec 2023. He's over 100 miles away. My local (rural) PP has been helping me with everything. The surgeon was supposed to take out gallbladder and nicked my small intestine which leaked out into abdomen. I almost died; was intubated. That's why I have this horrid condition. I read my med records, because I have no memory of any of it. But I'm really trying, I don't know why. All of you are the best. I have a good book on short gut and research every day. Thank you.

Hello fellow ostomates, my life has changed since I met this wonderful French Canadian lady on this site on 3-17-2013. We were married on 12-20-2014 in Phoenix, AZ.
