Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Could it be that it wasn't so much the water, as the not going pee after? Holding it is a big problem and can really back up your system. Had those people in the contest gone right ahead and pee'd it out, they may have been just fine? Also, for the one who says she just can't drink more, my little sister is one of those who doesn't drink enough. When she was small Mom tried everything to get more liquid in her. Her kids are showing some of the same things. And prone to constipation and backed up bowels as well. None of them drink like the rest of us. She is beginning to learn to drink more now, and she does actively work at it sometimes. As for me, I drink lots. Of course I also pee it out. But I can't imagine not drinking a bunch, and yep, its nearly all water, with some fresh juices and smoothies. But the minute I let up on intake, the urinary tract starts to make itself known in a hurry. Shelene ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Food fight?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I drink probably 2 glasses of water on a GOOD day. I also usually have 1 or two watered down glasses of juice. On a bad day I'll drink NO water and a glass of watered down juice. Not sure what causes the bloating feeling.... can't be too much fluid!!! Candace > This worries me….. I very very very rarely ever get thirsty. Some one told me one sign of dehydration is when your body starts mistaking your need for water as hunger. > My urine (sorry to be so graphic) is pretty dark colored and is pretty stinky. But if I force myself to drink water – knowing that is what I need – I feel bloated and gross. > > Not sure how to find the right amount of water for ME. > > Candace > > > > > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------- > Get your own web address. > Have a HUGE year through Small Business. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
