Reply to "Hydration, Deficiency, Fatigue."

I'm always surprised when people don't know how important salt intake is, your body needs salt to use water. Sweat, tears, spit and pee all contain salt. Our bodies without a large intestine which does most of the absorbing of these materials needs extra help. Our bodies actually use salt in many ways.

My doctor's explained this before I even had the jpouch surgery. After surgery, they were happy enough to hear that I was mixing salt in my water jug for work, and it definitely makes a difference when I am sweating a lot.

Lack of salt, potassium and dehydration all cause lethargy and are worse when experiencing more than one.

Good luck, stay hydrated, salted and eat some potatoes (or have some potassium).
