It seems to me that all gastrointestinal problems respond to good and complete hydration. It is like a fundamental building block for the best treatment of any problem involving the digestive tract. It is one of those things that doesn't cost anything, it seems to help in some if not all cases, it is considered good for general health with the ill as well as the healthy, gastro illnesses seem to lead to poor hydration with the associated diarrhea and vomiting and thus the rehydration is most important, and absolutely the most important aspect is that I seem to feel better and do better when I have and know I have plenty of plain old water in me and my system. So drink up folks and then have another of good old plain H2O It is good for you Poncho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2001 Report Share Posted March 11, 2001 I have never been very good at drinking water. Even as a child I did not drink very much water, and my urine was almost always concentrated, dark yellow. I just did not feel the need until I was very thirsty. Not too long ago I tried increasing my water intake. For a time I was very conscientious in the drinking. My urine was nearly always clear. I sensed an improvement in the way I felt. Nothing radical, just an awareness that I was better inside. This was before my gall bladder backed up my pancreas and altered my life. I have slipped a bit, but try to drink more than in my old days. I am convinced that the water helps, and since it cannot hurt it is a good practice.
