Excessive water drinking?
James drinks water excessively
IS THIS A SYMPTOM OF ANYTHING???
I drink about 80-100 oz. of water a day in sports water bottles. My teendaughter drinks lots of water, James drinks lots of water. I think I calculated160 oz. in one day and 16 trips to the bathroom.
The doctors were concerned…they did fasting urine tests, first thing in the morning urine test, bloodtests, sonogram of his liver and found nothing wrong with him.Finally decided it was a “learned behavior” that is “okay, as long as itdoesn’t affect his learning” (going to the bathroom during lessons and missingwhat is taught).
Since the symptoms of this “intolerance” and “allergies” are can be the “notobvious” things… I thought I would ask about this unusual thirst forwater. Is he craving something that is IN the water??? Is he craving somethingthat is BAD for him IN the water? Am I grabbing at straws here??
Thanks for any suggestions

My son drinks 1 gallon of water each day. His DAN! thought he mayhave been losing too many Electrolytes but he wasn’t and everythingis fin. He is 3 and weights 34 or 35lbs. For my son it is normal.His thirst increased to 1 1/2 gallons of water after starting LDN(low dose naltrexone) but that was temporary. According to WellnessPharmacy LDN has a rare side effect of increased thirst.

Just a guess. Have you had your water tested for metals?
