salt and water are your best friends right now. yes i actually heard of a lady that dies from drinkin too much water. just keep track of the urin you pass and take in it should be the same. dont think you will feel better if you down 2 gal of water it will make you worse. \now that i think of you should just stick to peanut and almonda and things like that for your proteen. i think you body needs proteen bad. check your other post. the salt will break up the mucus and you really need that. a probiotic is also good. but one step ate a time get unrefined salt in your diet. good luck
