From what I have heard, there are dietary measures a person can take in addition to increased water intake to avoid kidney stones, but I'm not sure what those are. I have heard beets need to be avoided, but beets have blood building properties and I'm highly deficient in this area.  So...?  Are pouch people more prone to kidney stones?  I have heard a lot about them on this forum lately.

Are you referring to heat issues & dehydration?

I drink anywhere from 60 to 80 ounces a day.  That does not include coffee or a soft drink I may have. I don't think they count. Lol.

But I'm not working. When I was working I know I drank at  least two gallons. A day!  Most at work. I'd down a 20oz bottle at once and go get more.  I don't need as much now.

And Scott. My urine is clear. That is the best indicator. I totally agree with that as a benchmark.

Just wondering how many people drink room temperature water as I do?  Or cold water? I can't drink cold water.  Seems I can drink more if it's room temperature.
