We put something called Cell Food on our water and it seems to perk us up via it adds oxygen to your blood cells. But then again I'm almost 50 and you are still a spring chicken! Thanks for the great vlog. I watch them with my daughter who really likes you; she always says, "she's funny," and enjoys your fast motion shots a lot. She's 3 :)
Hi Thaila, Love your videos and think you are doing great work. Please keep it up. You helped me out a lot when I was first coming to terms with my new stoma. Anyway, just wanted to mention that when I was at St Marks Hospital, one of their stoma nurses told me that drinks with artificial sweeteners (ie: I’m presuming your flavoured water) are bad as they actually dehydrate you. The theory is that they contain a chemical that has a known laxative effect (and therefore dehydrates you), which can cause problems for people with ileostomies. 1 glass is probably fine but anymore is bad. This even includes Lucazade Sport, which is often recommended by stoma nurses. Anyway, just thought I'd share this info as St Marks is a pretty reliable source of information for stoma care (especially hydration). Hope it helps.
Really nice vlog, it’s my first watching and what I just can say don’t stop vlogging,
Please don't stop vlogging! We need your courageous spirit and fun ideas.

I have a colostomy now but I still think I need to improve my hydration! Thanks for the tip! :D
Who thumbs downed? Did someone find frozen bread offensive? Ugh!
