Hello everyone,
So I had ileostomy surgery in march 2013 after a colon perf. Ever since then I've been thirsty all the time. There are days I can literally drink a gallon of water and still be thirsty. I know it has to do with the body not being able to absorb liquids through what is left of the colon...seeing as it is not attached to anything functioning right now.
Is there anything I can do to help with this besides just keeping hydrated and taking in fluids almost on a constant basis?
