Has anyone suffered from very low sodium after ileostomy?  My moms sodium keeps going down. She doesn't seem to be dehydrated though

Very helpful

She may need to increase her sodium intake to compensate for the loss through the ileostomy. What does her doctor say?

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!

My sodium was low on a blood test where I had been sick, not eating but drinking too much water. Said I was diluted. They had me cut down on water, and add other beverages.  Also had me eating salty foods. It did return to normal.
