Can you drink lye like this?

The absorption function after the fistula changes from before.

This bottle

It is "alkaline water" with the addition of several B vitamins, such as B1, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12.

---

✅ for people with artificial fistula (both ileostomy and colostomy)

It is generally "drinkable," but it should be drank carefully and not too often. Because there are the following considerations:

---

💧 Advantage

It helps add water to the body like normal water.

It contains vitamin B, which helps with energy and the nervous system.

There is a slight alkaline pH (about 8-9), which is generally harmless for healthy people.

⚠️ A precaution in people with artificial fistula.

1. Do not drink instead of all water

Because some lye contains mineral salts or additives that can cause the body's mineral salt balance to change, especially in people with an ileostomy, which loses a lot of sodium and potassium through the feces.

2. Observe symptoms after drinking

If you drink and have symptoms like

✔ flatulence.

✔ abdominal pain.

✔ or feces in the bag change characteristics (liquid or strong smell).

Stop drinking and come back to normal water.

3. See sodium label

If there is "sodium" above 50 mg per 100 ml, it should be avoided because it will disturb the mineral salt balance.

4. Not suitable in severe physical dehydration or diarrhea

Because lye does not help return mineral salt like mineral saline (ORS).

💡 advice from Pharmacanui:

✅ drink, but I want to drink water.

✅ if feeling "very thirsty, tired, tired, dry mouth" → drinking ORS would be better suited.

Best wishes.
