i read that on the candida diet we're suppose to drink half our body weight in water. i already pee a lot, just so you know. and also, half my body weight in water would be about 70-80 lbs, possibly more, i don't know. how many glasses of water is that even? i don't know.
but when i was trying to do that- drink half my body weight in water- i was peeing every 10 minutes and my kidneys started to hurt. i also didn't notice feeling more hydrated. i think i was drinking so much water that i was actually losing nutrients, peeing them out before my body absorbed their goodness.
i mentioned it to my sister and she said "all i can say is listen to your body. and that's way too much water" she might have said some other things this conversation happened about a month ago. but i think she's right.
now i'm trying to adjust the amount of water i drink, but i can never get enough. like, somehow it's either too much or not enough and either my kidneys hurt and i'm peeing all the fucking time or i'm dehydrated and when i'm dehydrated my yeast symptoms come back. and while i sleep i lose precious water drinking time....
sleep is the enemy. I FIGURED IT OUT.
