Reply to "Does drinking water make you need to go more?"

Other than the need to urinate more, has very little effect on my number of BM's or output,

I've suffered from fatigue and dehydration, to the extent of requiring emergency IV fluids, therefore my Doctors has suggested I consume at least 3 litres of fluid per day.

Specislist at the hospital have stated, that rather than measure how much fluids I'm drinking, it's easier to observe how often I urinate; ideally I should urinate no less than 3 times per day.

Urine is waste; what the body no longer needs and our body gets rid of excess fluid through urination.

I also take Imodium 3 times per day, I've never used Metamucil
