Well, lots say that, but when asked WHY they have no reason. Drinking

before you eat will NOT wash anything through, as the water goes right

through. Think of your stoma as a funnel. The idea is to put some

food in it, which won't go right through, right? Putting water in it

will help to wash it through. But putting water in BEFORE you put the

food in will have no effect, as the water is gone through in a matter

of seconds.

I'm a firm believer in doing what your doctor says, and no harm in

what he says, but it is just plain silly.
