Never Enough Water (Read 781 times)

NaderAlfie view log	posted: 11/6/2008 at 2:23 AM
	I estimate that I'm drinking over a gallon of water per day and yet constantly find myself thirsty. I sweat profusely when I run. I feel like after waking up thirsty, running in the morning and then drinking my morning coffee (and subsequent cups), I am in a thirst deficit all day that I can't seem to overcome. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

	all coffee?

	No, sorry. I have a 750ml water bottle, which I fill with water. Maybe I drink too much at once?

	Sometimes when I am thirsty like that drinking something like extremely diluted juice helps. Something about the sweet taste seems to take away false thirst.

	Could possibly be the coffee or something else in your diet ( a diaretic (sp?))

Get this checked out.

Thank you, I will.

Actually, funny you mention it. My father-in-law was equally alarmed by the amount of water I drank in a single day and took a reading of my blood sugar with one of those kits. He said my b-s level was fine. But it was at night, after I had eaten dinner a few hours beforehand.

I tend to store fat in my chest and waist region. Isn't that an indicator?

	I'm interested in this topic because I've had the same issue before and never figured out why. The juice and electrolytes help me but I wonder if it's normal to be drinking 10+ cups of water a day. How much water are you drinking? I found this link about excessive thirst.

I'd say roughly a gallon.

	Is your thirst a new thing? I drink a lot of water, more than most people, but then I have always done it. Fatty or salty foods, sweeties, and specially caffeine makes me extra thirsty! By all means have your sugar levels checked. It's better to know for sure.
