What about flavored seltzer? No sodium, no sugar, no caffeine, no

preservatives.

How about a portable H2O IV?

I buy steam distilled water, store 3 blocks from my house, pure, pure water.

Tastes good, I drink it ice cold, normally. I do get bored sometimes, but I

atternate with gatorade, apple juice, and other juices. I pay .30 a gallon.

I absolutely have to drink lots of water, as I am very subject to dehydration. I

had my colon removed 9 years ago after suffering from colitis for many years.

Best thing I ever did. Most fluids are absorbed into the body via the colon

though, so I am very inefficient in absorbing fluids. I have to work at it every

day. That is why I drink gatorade, the electrolytes help maintain hydration. You

get used to the taste, I have no choice, really.

I got dehydrated once after my surgery, I was retching, on the floor, bad

cramps, dry heaves, diarhhea, totally helpless. Went to the hospital for 3 days,

had an IV for fluids and recuperated.

I do not want to go there again.

Even so, it is real hard to drink a gal a day. And when I am feeling really

lousy, even harder. I usually get at least 2 quarts down.

Think about cleansing your body from the inside while you are drinking that

boring stuff. Maybe that will help!

thing I grab. It is like anything else; if you do it often enough, you get used

to it. People who get used to drinking tea or sodas won't want anything but

that.

That's what I do when I absolutely have to have something fizzy. Perrier,

etc., is great just as it is, but there are flavors too, or I add fruit

juice sometimes.

Yea, I may try switching to seltzer ... given that we are carbon based

bio-units, I don't see how carbonation can be harmful.
