<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I have been having problems over the period of months with dehydration after a bout with diarrhea. I had been hospital three times to get fluids. Had been doing well since November until this week. Must have gotten into some gluten. My question is what is the best thing to drink and eat when the problems start so that I will not end up back at the hospital for more fluids? My potassium goes very low so the doctors have me on potassium pills. I have been drinking chicken broth, water, pediatric and eating very lightly. I have to watch my blood sugar because the doctors have been monitoring it also for the past months,thought I was hypoglemic but not sure now. When I start getting dehydrated my blood sugar has been going up to 160 to 215. Any suggestions. I also wanted to know if anyone has been have problems with stomach virus this year along with the cd. I was diagnosed with cd in 1993 and being doing very well till August of 1999. I have had more problems with my health since then than all the previous years. I had been doing very well on the diet and even gain 20 lbs. Since September I have lost 27 lbs. and cannot gain weight. I seem to be alright for several days then I get sick again. We have check all medicines and food, no gluten. I just wandering, I feel like I just cannot get back on my feet. It seems that I keep adding one more disorder to the cd. Thanks. Dianne
