Jan, your post is very interesting. I have had D for about 11 weeks and have noticed that when I am going to have episodes, I have not pee'd after drinking a large quantity of liquid. I thought this was normal but before I developed D, I had normal daily BMs. However, when I would eat something that did not agree with me, I could tell D would happen by a lack of pee. Before my D, I was an excessive diet soda drinker. Caffeine is a diuretic so I would pee alot! Last night I drank an 18oz bottle of FUZE. At 12:30am to 1am I had 6 episodes of watery D but did not pee. That told me all 18oz of FUZE went the wrong way. My doctor prescribed my with a similar BP med about 8 months ago to see if it would help my BP which started to read at 132/91. He called it onset moderate high BP and said many doctors were going back to old school BP meds, low dose of diuretics, instead of stronger meds. I still have my BP med, HCTZ, and am wondering if I should take it to see if I experience what you have experienced. My BP is still at 132/91 so taking the HCTZ would not be a bad thing. I have avoiding taking them as I have been trying to lower my BP via proper diet and exercise. I'll let you know what happens with me. I first need to see if I can take the HCTZ within 6 days of a scheduled colonoscopy. Thanks for the post
