Thank you all! I will look into the electrolytes and the Benefiber... she does take 6 mg of Loperamide/day... she doesn't have the best diet (she is 16)...
Scott, you ask what stops her - it's hard to make her understand how important it is to drink her fluids every day. I am a single parent, so I have to work and I cannnot stay on top of her to drink all day long. She says it fills her up too much and she just doesn't remember to keep drinking all day long. We've tried drinking apps --- she also has severe depression and anxiety, which doesn't help matters. I'm at a point where I just think the g-tube will be a life changer for her. She won't have to stress about drinking - and I won't have to nag her all the time - and she'll feel better! It's a very difficult situation and I would love an easy answer... there just isn't one.
