Staying Hydrated with an Ileostomy - Tips and Advice

This topic is about finding ways to stay well-hydrated when you have an ileostomy, especially since liquids can sometimes pass through the system quickly after drinking. Here are some practical strategies to help with hydration:

1. Consider using oral rehydration solutions (ORS) that are specifically designed to improve fluid and electrolyte absorption in the small intestine.
- H2ORS is one option that can be ordered directly from the manufacturer's website or sometimes found on Amazon.

2. You might also try making and drinking St. Mark’s Formula, an electrolyte drink that is both effective and affordable. It is commonly used in Europe and Australia. You can find the recipe and instructions on the Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust website.
