Dehydration from short gut syndrome

Posted by tjanet @tjanet, Aug 21 7:42am

I have several signs of dehydration but blood results says no. What can I do to help with dehydration symptoms? I am not to drink plain water because it doesn't absorb in my body because of short gut syndrome.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Digestive Health Support Group.

Drink Pedialyte or a homemade mix of 1 L water plus 2 Tbsp sugar and 3/4 tsp salt (I add 1 packet of True Lemon to it to improve the taste).

I found that coconut water helps with dehydration.
