asking a crazy?

I've been struggling with a few things lately, and wonder if they're related. I've been super constipated. No mater how much, fiber, dolax, Miralax I've taken I've not gotten relief. Just haven't had even an urge in over week. During that week I've struggled drinking water. Actually drinking anything. I've not felt thirsty and feel super full with just a few sips even though I've been about to drink with no issues since surgery 3 1/2 months ago. To top it all off I have some large kidney stones that are going to have to be dealt with. I'm waiting on the call for the procedure now! When I went to the urologist yesterday they told me I was dehydrated and to drink more. Doubt the kidney stones are related to my not wanting to drink, but the constipation? Could be? I know the lack of water adds to this issue, before I'm told! LMAO! ;)

    They're not pleasant, but try an enema. They don't require drinking and they work FAST.

    The emphasis on drinking fluids is a necessity. Consider very gentle stretches and things such as forward folds and side twists and back bends (only if you can guide yourself back slowly). None of

Lol! Oh sure it is!

You need to drink a lot for both reason, so you don't get constipated , and for the kidney stones. I just had to have my kidney stone blasted and now I have what he called sand from them being broken up.. I am like you. I have a hard time drinking Water.

My urologiest told me to drink lemonaide because the citric acid prevents kidney stones. The crystal light lemoaide at room temp goes down the easiest for me.
