Reply to "Battling Dehydration"

bowelsofhellMember

I'd try Scott's suggestion first if you haven't yet. For whatever reason(s), my doctor and I have found it very hard to control my dehydration, which leads to hypokalemia (low potassium).

We've tried dietary fixes to no avail, so I take prescription potassium. The powder, not pills, which I don't absorb as well. The taste leaves something to be desired but it has been a lot more effective than the alternatives at keeping me from needing IV fluids. If your doctor hasn't run any dehydration-related labs, that might point you both in the right direction.
