Liquid Intake Generally?
Hi all,
I drink about 4 16oz of bottle water daily. Also have a cup of coffee or two per day. I have seen some info that too much liquid intake is not good. Is there a general rule of how much liquid to intake daily? I assume that the info about not taking too much liquid may be due to inciting ascities or other edema?? I don't see my new hepatologist until Jan 24 at which time I will query her but in the meantime was wondering about this. Mainly because in the past I have become dehydrated from not drinking enough fluids daily. As mentioned, I drink 4 bottle of water per day, plus 1-2 cups of coffee, and usually a nightly 8oz protein shake.
Any input appreciated...
