One more question: How much water do you drink?

So after my follow-up with my urologist due to my most recent kidney stone, he said that I should be drinking FOUR liters of water a day- that's eight pounds of water going into a 112 pound, 5' 1" chick.

Not to mention the hyponatremia (sodium deficiency)- I got yelled at by some chick at the CF clinic last time because I was drinking 'too much water'

How much water do you all drink daily, and how do you supplement it without it being nasty salt water? I thought about salt pills but heard you can get horrible stomache aches if you don't drink enough with them.

PS: Just looked up some electrolytes w/out carbs (me being CFRD and all) and came up with Nuun and Camelbak Elixir...has anyone tried these?

I can't say for a cystic specifically, BUT the standard for fluid intake for anyone is 8-8oz glasses a day, which is ~2L.

Fluid intake can help with stones, but that much water doesn't sound reasonable and I have several close friends with stones. I'll email one of them this morning and see what/how much they drink.

I try to drink at least 8 , 10 oz glasses of water a day..

I have had renal failure (due to tobramycin) and have had numerous kidney stones..

I was told to also drink throughout the night, since this seems to be when stones form..

I was also told it is important to drink a lot to flush meds out of my system..

I was recently dxd w/ cfrd, so dont know if that will change anything or not.. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> joni
