Hi all, I have a 6-month-old ileostomy and this is just a question regarding hydration with an ileostomy. I am drinking lots of fluid, including at least 1 litre of ORS daily. I have noticed that my urine output is nowhere near as much as it was before my ileostomy despite all the fluids. I tend to have pale to straw-colored urine and don't feel dehydrated. I did read that ileostomates do have decreased urine output even when not dehydrated. Anyone got any advice? Thanks all.
