to my experience, No. I am relatively new, 5/28/19, ileostomy. I was not drinking a lot of water and there was not a relationship between hydration and acidic. Burning and itchy was due to my leakage and irritated peristoma skin. I found out my stoma was retracted and my skin folds were not flush. I went to ER and they gave me a convex system. I applied antibiotic gel and stoma powder. I crusted it with the barrier wipe. It was amazing. My skin healed and there was no leakage. No more burning or itching.
