Water intake

I would go see your GP and get some blood work. This sounds like fluid retention. Do you eat a lot of salt?

I did notice some swelling and cramping in my hands and feet a few weeks ago when I was in the hospital and my potassium was low.

This diet and fluid intake has been very difficult for me to figure out and I've had my ileo for 4&1/2 years.

I do not seem to be the norm though.

I have low ferritin, low BUN, low b12 if I don't do regular b12 injections, etc. The GP thinks I'm not absorbing nutrients and iron.
