My 12yr old daughter is currently in 7th grade school basketball & travel softball (fall ball), she also has IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). She has thrown herself into dehydration partially caused by her IBS (diarrhea) and being very active. Dr says if she doesn't improve its gonna be IV time. Dr said now that symptoms have shown up (not sweating, nautious, clammy & pale) there is no turning back - the damage is done.
I have benched her from strenuous running in both sports (and no she is NOT happy with me) but how do I get her back into the swing of things hydrated & keep her from overheating?
Gatorade isn't a consistant option as the sugar affects her stomach from IBS.
Anyone ever deal with dehydration, sports & IBS?
