Re: 16 Glasses of water?!? [Part 2]       06/23/05 07:34 AM Edit Reply Quote daliatree Reged: 07/10/04 Posts: 1176 Loc: Manhattan, New York I don't think any such study has been performed. IBS is an umbrella term for who knows what is really going on down there. It is up to the sufferer to experiment and find what is going on with them. I suffered with terrible C for 9 years before it switched to D and fluid intake is a GREAT aid in fixing it. I don't give a toss, to be frank, as to whether a scientific study says I shouldn't, I try to get as much fluid as is comfortable. 16 glasses probably doesn't apply to me because I am 106 pounds - but to someone much larger it may apply. e all have C for varying reasons. The point is, that it cannot hurt to take in a lot of fluid and there are plenty of studies that say that the reason laxatives sell to 2 billion dollars a year is because the vast majority of the sufferers do not drink enough whilst not getting enough fibre. It is wonderful for the kidneys and the skin to drink a lot. Moreover, when the gut is all backed up with toxic substance, the body's other eliminative organs are put under strain (the skin, the lungs, the kidneys etc) as they try to keep the body clean, it can't hurt to aid these systems but drinking enough water to keep flushing. Work out the number of glasses that works for you to be peeing a very light yellow - it doesn't have to be a pedantic 16. -------------------- Feel the fear and do it anyway!
