I drink so much water it's ridiculous, I feel you on the bloated. The gabapentin was leaving me feeling dehydrated with over 96oz of water a day - minimum. Matt started mixing an electrolyte powder for me and it helps if I start the day with 16oz of water mixed with that but it tastes meh (I think salt, magnesium, potassium?) I'm not drinking so incredibly much and I'm not feeling so bloated from it all either. I recently started trying some of the marketed hydration mixes and I'm still trying to find one I like that doesn't have fake sugar in it or a ton of actual sugar...Got it. So water loading this week. I love feeling bloated.
