Hi everyone

How are you all managing your hydration in this wonderful but hot weather.especially those with an iliostomy ?

Any hints  and tips ?

Enjoy the sunshine but keep hydrated everyone.

  •  Hi Katz51.  It is lovely, isn't it?

    I'm tending to rely on extra cups of tea (4.30am this morning!). Before the ileostomy, water would've been my "go to" but I don't think that's recommended.  Since having to drink the dreaded Moviprep I've not been able to face orange squash or the like (anything with artificial sweeteners) as the taste is too similar. I sometimes have apple juice diluted half and half with water or Bottle Green do a cranberry and elderflower cordial which is nice. I probably never drank enough before the ileostomy anyhow so it's even more of a challenge now.

    Any other suggestions would be very welcome.

    • Enjoy the sunshine Sunny
