sandymbme Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 With my Celiac Disease, I have a really, really hard time absorbing hydration orally. So I have been doing IV hydration via a port/cath for over a year now. But it takes up a lot of my "free" time. I spend 3-4 hours a day just trying to get (and stay) hydrated.

Guest maia Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Coconut water! Its the only thing that has any effect at all when its hot out. Its expensive, but sometimes you can find bunches of it in surplus stores for cheap. ..Great idea on the Goya brand also, i had no idea you could find it that inexpensively!

tinkerbella Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Sometime it's the only thing that quenches my thirst ~ You just have to be careful not to drink so much in one day or mix it with a lot of ice in a really fancy glass ~ I like the glass effect when home. lol I'm always home.BellaMia ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubytuesday Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Italian frozen ice, popcycles, frozen fruit bars, fruits and some veggies all have fluid in them too. I find the cold stuff especially refreshing when I start to feel warm. Ice cream, soup (I have to restrict my sodium), yogurt, eating cereal with milk or adding milk to oatmeal or cream of wheat (if you can tolerate) offer some liquid.
