It seems that since I have started dialysis I m gaining dry weight and also after having dialysis my stomach gets so bloted and cramping. It has gotten so bad my stomach makes all kinds of noise and I have to leave the room. I have been taking Alkaseltzer but5 that has a lot of sodium in in it,so that s out. What do I do? And why is it happening?
The symptoms you have reported suggest excessive removal of fluid during dialysis. That may be happening because you are gaining more weight in between the dialysis. I suggest-1. Start taking dialysis thrice a week if not already done.2. Chat Doctor. Cut down significantly on your fluid intake say 700-800ml/day4. Limit your weight gain in between 2 dialysis sessions to maximum 1 kg.5. Stop taking Alka-Seltzer immediately
