Guest guest Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Just a thought, if she's eating more fruits & vegetables than usual, she's getting a lot of water. As long as she's not overly thirsty or peeing a lot, it's probably OK.Did a quick web search & this is the only thing I found:Colorless urine is often the result of diuretic use or high fluid intake, which can be harmless. Diabetes insipidus is associated with colorless urine, the ingestion of ethyl alcohol, and hypercalcemia, a condition caused by too much calcium in the system because of faulty metabolization.http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0876/is_n52/ai_8542521/WAIT - hypercalcemia? Doesn't the book recommend calcium supplements? (I'm guessing ethyl alcohol s not a concern)What Is Diabetes Insipidus? (I had to look that one up)Diabetes Insipidus is not the same as diabetes mellitus ("sugar" diabetes). Diabetes Insipidus resembles diabetes mellitus because the symptoms of both diseases are increased urination and thirst. However, in every other respect, including the causes and treatment of the disorders, the diseases are completely unrelated.http://www.diabetesinsipidus.org/whatisdi.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 One more thing: Make sure she's getting a little salt in her diet. I get dehydrated sometimes & my Dr tells me to sip water with a pinch of sea salt in it. He says it's important to sip it slowly, so my body can absorb it. When there is not enough salt in the body, it can't hold any water & if you try to replace the water without adding salt, it just washes more salt out of the system.
