How Can Dehydration Be Prevented?
Good morning, I had a total colectomy at Cleveland Clinic 25 years ago due to severe Crohn s. As a college student, I was full of prescribed men s, high doses of prednisone , bones are suffering now. My question, I have trouble with hydration. My lab results show kidney concerns but after seeing a specialist, hydration is my issue. How do I help keep myself hydrated? Any ideas will help. Thank you. I am very active, 115 pounds, 5 2 currently employed full time. YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
The only means to stay hydrated is by drinking plenty of fluids. Drink alteast 8 glasses of fluids per day and never remain thirsty. Drink fluids containing electrolytes like Gatorade.
