@SomeMichGuy If three saltines didn't work this time, then trying it again and excepting different results doesn't make much sense.

Since I don't know how much water she's drank, I don't know if it's a hydration issue, or ithree crackers just wasn't enough volume. Since food stays in the stomach 2-4 hours under normal conditions, I'm not sure how you can be sure that putting a bit of extra food into her belly would definitely not help.

@RosaMarie I was responding to her mentioning

"no dairy" -> "saltine crackers"

Water was not mentioned as being banned, but tossing a pill on a bed of dryish crackers seems potentially problematic, whereas having something more moist might help.

It was not a statement about volumes, but related to consistency and possibilities. Eating dry crackers isn't easy or fun. lol

@SomeMichGuy Oh, then you tagged me in your no such need post. Was that meant for her?

SomeMichGuy · M

@RosaMarie YOU tagged ME to say

@SomeMichGuy Might want to try to eat a few about 15 to 30 minutes before your next dose and a few more with the med. And plenty of water. You should be peeing regularly, every couple of hours, and except for just after waking, your pee should be light in color.

I believe you meant to tag the OP.

That's why I replied

@RosaMarie Ummmm...no such need.

as I am not taking her meds or using saltines...or anything like that.

RosaMarie · 46-50, F

@SomeMichGuy Could have just said that. I fixed it.

SomeMichGuy · M

@RosaMarie ...I did just say that.

I thought you were just doing you.
