Interesting, I even add some sea salt to C/water occasionallyActually coconut water makes me feel acutely dehydrated and crazy thirsty.

I haven't done any hormone bloodwork in quite a while. Last I checked, estrogen panel was fine, testosterone was fine. I suppose I could do more investigation with hormone testing.The thing is, when your hormones are deranged, you can eat all the minerals and electrolytes you want, the body won't retain them. Have you ever tried boron supplementation?
Do you have any bloodwork done regarding your hormones?
Also, the fact that protein restriction helps you might suggest that you have some kind of bacterial overgrowth - the kind of bacteria that feeds on protein. And iodine is very effective antiseptic. Are you getting enough biotin?
I drink about 3 liters of water daily. I'd say I'm pretty thirsty, but not bizarrely so? I don't urinate a lot. I'd say I urinate less than the average person: 3 or 4 times day.Do you have any other symptoms of dehydration? Are you urinating a lot? How is your daily fluid intake?
And how much fluids are you getting from foods you eat? Milk, dairy products, even meat?I drink about 3 liters of water daily. I'd say I'm pretty thirsty, but not bizarrely so? I don't urinate a lot. I'd say I urinate less than the average person: 3 or 4 times day.
It varies. I've been drinking a lot of goat milk lately. Sometimes even a liter a day.And how much fluids are you getting from foods you eat? Milk, dairy products, even meat?
Well I'm going to feel terrible if I'm thirsty all day. Not going to ignore my body's signals. That's a fast train to worse problems, in my experience. That said, I guess I could try intentionally lowering my salt intake and see if that helps me drink less water? Maybe I've been consuming too much salt...There you go. I would also feel absolutely horrible if my total fluid intake would be over 4 liters a day. You are flushing out your electrolytes and you are messing up your digestion, slowing down the transit time, which leads to SIBO, endotoxin production, poor absorbtion of nutrients and various other things.
Thanks. I've seen all the mentions of Crohn's on the forum. It's a complicated illness, especially in my case.@gately Have you seen this thread >Rheumatoid Arthritis May Be Caused By The Same Bacteria That Causes Crohn's
It might have some relevance for you, it may not.
I can't imagine what Crohn's is like and I hope you get better.
Also, wait a minute. Before I was guzzling a liter of goat milk a day, I was just having the usual 3 liters of water a day (about that) plus the above foods. Goat milk in these quantities has been a recent addition. So you really think my issues could be from drinking 3 liters of water a day?There you go. I would also feel absolutely horrible if my total fluid intake would be over 4 liters a day.

Homie, it's more like 3 liters a day. The milk, as I've said, is a recent addition. 3 liters of water is not THAT abnormal, man. I'm just drinking water to thirst. I'm 6'2, 200 pounds, and am moderately active in the sun most days.You are so thirsty because you are constantly flushing out all your electrolytes. Your body is unable to retain the water because of that, and the dehydration is causing the thirst. It is a vicious cycle.
You are going to have to stop listening to that body signal if you want to fix your health. Drinking over 4 liters of fluids a day is not normal.
By reducing the salt intake, you are going to pour the gasoline on fire.
Incidentally, I tried some recently. (My hair levels are normal.) Wasn’t a good reaction, but I’m willing to try it again.Per my new obsession and the reasons given below, I would advise you to supplement with molybdenum.
In plants, it is used in the metabolism of osmolytes and for water homeostasis in case of dehydration.
In mammals, the transcription factor NFAT5 is involved in osmolytes transport and synthesis. This transcription factor also happens to be low in people who have Crohn's. I can link/repost the data if you are interested.
Molybdenum is also involved in sulfur metabolism while the sulfate molecule could be at the basis of water structure in cells. Could unstructured water be the cause of dehydration?
Immunodeficiency and Autoimmune Enterocolopathy Linked to NFAT5 Haploinsufficiency
"NFAT5 expression is reduced in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
To determine whether the link between reduced NFAT5 expression and autoimmunity might be generalizable to other immune-mediated diseases, we examined NFAT5 mRNA expression in intestinal tissue biopsies from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), which together comprise IBD, are believed to result from an aberrant immune response to commensal gut microbes, leading to chronic intestinal inflammation. Compared to healthy controls, we observed that NFAT5 mRNA expression was significantly reduced in patients with active UC and CD (Fig. 7), raising the possibility that NFAT5 and other components of the osmoadaptation pathway may be dysregulated in IBD."
3. squeeze the oranges, then separate all the components of the juice mechanically and chemically. Store the various components in huge tanks - sometimes for years. Then mix it with flavors and preservatives, bottle it, and sell it before it separates again. This is sold as fresh squeezed, because it's never been frozen.
