Liquid and Fluids

Adequate fluid intake is particularly important for CD patients.  Diarrhea may be a prominent symptom so that at least 70 oz of fluid per day can be recommended for a 140 lb person.  Since dehydration may be a problem, adequate salt or sodium can be used.  However, excessive salt may push up the blood pressure.
