Does anyone have short gut syndrome? I have only 2ft of my small intestines left but still have my large intestines. Having problems with dehydration,diarrhea and nausea. My doctors haven't figured out a good treatment plan for me, yet.

Hi @tjanet, for the dehydration, I have been buying or making Oral Rehydration Solutions. They are simply water, sugar and salt. My go-to is Gatorade (the original with sugar) watered down, with a quarter teaspoon of salt. This is for a 10 - 12 oz glass. Apparently this helps with absorption. Try to get ahead of the nausea and diarrhea -Dave

I have found that coconut water helps with dehydration.
