@kaptainkat Can you swallow flavored water? I use True Lemon found on Amazon. They also do orange and lime flavors. These are crystals that come in foil packets you can add to water or juice. This might help you get the volume of hydration you need, and to be able to spread it out over the course of a day.

My 'drink' is 50/50 electrolyte enhanced (Ultimate® raspberry flavor) water and ginger ale.
.
Liquids are ok, to a point. Without a lower esophageal valve they tend to splash in and trigger my GERD. Ergo I am getting H2O via my tube.
.
It has been suggested that I flip-flop my feeds, and get my 800ml of H2O during the day while I am 'active', and nutrition at night. I am waiting to hear from my dietician on that.
.
It has also been suggested adding some salt to my tube H2O, but I have not heard back on how much salt per liter.

Thankmew for your response.
