Hello all! I need some advice. I have had my ileostomy since 10/11. We are just now getting into the heat here in the South. I was at my daughter's softball tournament yesterday. It was about 90 degrees here in Georgia. I drank A LOT of water and Gatorade yesterday. I also ate fruit, but was really dehydrated and zapped from the sun yesterday. I am afraid that I have seen a glimpse of things to come for the summer. I want to know if any of y'all have any magic potions or tips for staying hydrated while outside for the day. I felt very weak when we got home yesterday evening and dizzy a couple of times during the day. I have always loved the outdoors and never had any trouble prior to surgery. Any help is greatly appreciated.
