I have an ileostomy and drink about 76 oz of mostly electrolyte liquid a day. But I also have an overactive bladder so I have frequent urination (and urgency), about every 1 1/2 - 2 hours and perhaps twice a night. My urologist is suggesting Botox or InterStim, but drinking 76 oz of fluid a day. Perhaps my urination frequency (neglecting urgency) is normal. I was wondering what 'normal' is for everyone else.
