Message: <blockquote data-quote="debrasue" data-source="post: 1417364">I'm no doctor, but that sounds like very bad advice to me...My mother ended up in hospital last year, close to death with hyponatremia, after increasing her fluid intake to around 3 litres per day. In line with what NoCrbs4Me says above, her salts and electrolytes had reached dangerously low levels and she first became very confused, and later collapsed. She was treated in hospital for almost a month before being allowed home, and has now been told to take no more than a litre per day, and preferably three-quarters of a litre of fluids.Of course I don't know your medical status and it may be that you are supposed to drink more than normal, but it might be worth getting a professional second opinion on that fluid intake.</blockquote>
