Q: what are pros and cons of drinking about two glasses of water with each meal for an acid reflux patient?

Q: how can it be harmful for an alzheimer's patient to forget eating, drinking water or going to the bathroom? can they continue eating till they get glut?

Dementia: A person can die if they don't drink water (or other beverages) and eat food. I don't know what is meant by "glut"?

Q: type 1 blood sugar, how high does it goes, before i can't get my remicade (infliximab) injection? patient has been drinking a lot of water, eat small beef stick to bring it down, her suger level.

If : If you have type 1 diabetes, why not take a dose of fast acting insulin? Humalog, apidra, (insulin glulisine) and NovoLog work within 15 minutes to start lowering the sugar. I do not know of any clear glucose level at which you could not get remicade. Makes little sense why there would be since glucose can vary with Insulin and over hours. Your rheumatologist may not be comfortable dosing your Remicade though if your sugar is high. Contrary to popular belief, drinking water will not lower your sugar. And beef sticks sure don't.

Question 1

should a patient with nephritis drink mineral water?

Accepted Answer

No good reason: Nephritis does not relate to liquid type of intake. I see no benefit in mineral water in particular different than other types of water or liquids intake.

Question 2

is it possible that drinking a lot of sparkling mineral water can be causing my chronic nausea? there seems to be a direct link between me drinking it and the nausea increasing. why would this happen if so? thank you for your help?

Question 4

does kidney patient can drink chlorophyll water?

Accepted Answer

I think so: Chlorophyll, of course, is responsible for the green pigment in all our healthy greens. It has many purported health properties including rebuilding and replenishing red blood cells, being anti-carcinogenic, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. I could find nothing about it being dangerous for kidney patients; it may prevent kidney stones. As with any supplement, also discuss with your doctor.

Question 5

why patients with schizophernia drink a lot of water?

Accepted Answer

Different reasons: One common phenomenon is anticholinergic (and other) effects of antipsychotics and meds for side effects commonly used (like benztropine) to treat schizophrenia and related disorders. They provoke dry mouth as a collateral effect. Other causes are possible, but this is one common reason. In general, there is no one single explanation for this, despite efforts to find it.

Question 6

what copper levels in drinking water are potentially hazardous for wilson's disease patients?

Accepted Answer

0.1ppm: Drinking water rarely exceeds 0.1 parts per million (ppm), deemed a safe level for wilson's disease. Testing is not so much for fear of exceeding 0.1ppm, but to make sure your home/school is not prone to excessive leaching (example: acidic water in copper pipes). Consistent levels <0.1ppm mean leaching is unlikely. Flushing copper pipes (let water run) is recommended before drinking/cooking.

Here are some ...: Forming crystals and stones is a constant process and the most important factor to prevent recurrence is keep the concentration of all stone ingredients in the urine for stone formation always below their threshold to form crystals.
