I am really REALLY poor in fluid intakes. Despite having kidney stones soon after I started vaping. I suspect I dont drink half a litre a day of water if at all, but I have about 3 brews of coffee normal cup.

I know its really poor intake, but I just dont get thirsty during the day. I do have a bottle of pop at the side of the bed, but this will last me a few weeks.

I have tried to increase it, but I just dont feel the need to drink. Is their something wrong with me?

Whether you feel thirsty or not, you should really try and up that amount. Your piss must be like treacle!

Well I dont pee that much either, but sugar puffs seem to be hanging around

Definitely dehydrated. No wonder you had kidney stones!

Managed to drink 4 litres today while at work. Now moving on to beer.

Never had them before or since.  But I know this is a problem for me, but I just dont want to have a drink and I dont get an urge to do so.  I might try to get a water bottle and see if this pushes me to drink more.

It is a problem I know.

I did the same. Got one of those Brita filter bottles and I just tell myself "I need to drink x amount of those today whether I'm thirsty or not." I'm actually the same as you. If I don't force myself I don't actually feel thirsty unless I'm exercising.

if it smells of sugar puffs that's a sure sign of protein which is one of the key indicators of diabetes..... if its type 2 many people can fix it by changing their diet and upping the fluid intake  whilst loosing weight and the body sort of fixes itself,

I say that having been diagnosed as type 2 several years ago before I knew that pain eating was a thing (although In retrospect of course shovelling 10+ chocolate bars down my gullet a day between meals and pills should of been a clear indication) anyhow I underwent therapy and changed my behaviour and have had the all clear every time I've been tested for the last 7 years, although I rather suspect I might be going down that road again as the weights piling back on and I seem to have slipped up on the "good food" front in the last few months/

Never drink water on its own. The odd cup of tea but mainly live on Pepsi.

Does pepsi/coke in excessive amounts give you kidney stones?

Im sure i read that somewhere.

I buy 56 cans of diet coke cherry per week and get through them all - I also keep 2 bottles of water in the car at all times and never go anywhere without taking a bottle of water with me so I get through about a 6 pack of 500ml bottles a week on top of the coke.

Drink loads of fluids but not plain water and always have done, 4-5 cups of coffee a day, 3-4 cups of tea, 3-4 pints of squash and possibly a can of Pepsi Max in there as well plus sparkly water up the yard and when it gets hotter that can go way up easily depending on what I'm doing, I can be reading at work and easily down a pint of squash before I get to the end of what I'm reading Or sitting watching my daughter at dressage and before I know it I've downed a bottle of sparkly water and am grabbing another.

Consequences of all that is I spend a rather lot of time peeing

So hands up the diet pepsi/cola addicts

[thebishman]

I have a pint everyday (with rum)
