Bottle of Water after kidney transplant?

[okarol]

Someone recommended that Jenna drink "Smart Water" so I read about it. Smart Water by Glaceau is vapor distilled water with electrolytes added (magnesium, potassium and calcium) designed for rapid hydration without calories or sodium. It works like Gatorade, but without the sugar or flavoring. Maybe she will try some. http://www.glaceau.com if you want to read more, although not much info on how much potassium is added.

I would be careful about the Glaceau - if it has electrolytes added it could cause some funky blood work! I know we shouldn't have too much potassium, or magnesium, and I'm guessing binders will be needed due to the calcium.
Just my opinion.

This thread is about 'after transplant.' However, I do agree dialysis patients should avoid water with additives, unless dehydration during the flu or severe exertion is present.

oh ya, sorry about that. I forgot it was about "after transplant". I guess my mind doesn't think that way any more!! After 10 yrs, I've kinda given up hope....but, you never know....
