I’ve just had a bloods done and very low sodium . But because I’ve had this before they will review my bloods in 4weeks . I do drink a lot as I’ve Diverticular and take 2laxido a day .plus on constella . I drink over 2litres of water plus herbal teas . I’m constipated or the opposite . Doctors are very little help plus I ended up with piles but got suppositories from doctor and they helped . But now got low sodium feeling unwell and shivery all the time .

If it's any help I was advised to add some good quality sea salt to my water, just a few is enough but it all helps to add back in what you are losing. I also take baths with Epsom salt 💛
